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. There is no depletion of cortical lymphocytes.
Final diagnosis

- Architecturally normal thymus with mild physiologic stress effects.
