Benign thymus with stress

Microscopic

The section shows thymus with normal cortical and medullary development. The corticomedullary junction is well demarcated; however, there is an increase in histiocytes within the cortex and focal degenerative changes of thymic corpuscles.

Final diagnosis

Thymus, incidental thymectomy:
- Architecturally normal thymus with mild to moderate physiologic stress effects.
