Abstract

Pulmonary adenomyomas are rare adenomyomatous hamartomas. In the few cases described in the literature, these benign tumors are encapsulated by lung parenchyma. We describe a case of a 59 year-old woman with acetylcholine receptor antibody-negative myasthenia gravis and a right cardiophrenic mass initially thought to be a thymoma. Histopathology surprisingly revealed a pulmonary adenomyoma which involved the mediastinal fat at the cardiophrenic angle.
