Histological Typing of Tumours of the Thymus

The classification represents an effort to bring together the variety of ways thymic epithelial neoplasms have been classified. It focuses on their growth characteristics, i.e. encapsulation & invasion, & cytoarchitectural features, e.g. spindle, epithelioid, & lymphocyte content. The classification, though restricted to the thymic region rather than the mediastinum in general, also covers neuroendocrine, germ cell, lymphoid, & stromal tumours, as well as tumour-like lesions & the neck tumours of thymic or related branchial pouch derivation.Rosai, Juan is the author of 'Histological Typing of Tumours of the Thymus', published 1999 under ISBN 9783540657316 and ISBN 3540657312.
