Thymic hyperplasia is usually associated with the treatment of malignant tumours and is sometimes linked with endocrine diseases. For the first time, we report a case of thymic hyperplasia in a patient 2 years after bilateral lung transplantation. Contrast-enhanced chest CT scan was highly suspicious for a posttransplant lymphoma or thymoma. Therefore, the patient received total thymectomy. Exc...

Interferons (INF) are natural defense mechanisms against viruses and inhibit their activities by enhancing major histocompatibility complex class I and cytokine expression. This study evaluated the efficacy of INF-α-2b on mucocutaneous lesions of BD. Met...
