Abstract |
Thymomas are the most common tumours of the anterior mediastinum with most patients presenting incidentally. We present a case of thymoma presenting with sudden onset severe chest pain and raised plasma aminotransaminases secondarily to spontaneous infarction. We discuss the presence of these aminotransaminases in this highly unusual presentation of thymoma and believe our case demonstrates the inherent limitations of plasma enzymes due to their lack of specificity and sensitivity.
