A rare case of true thymic hyperplasia in an adult

True thymic hyperplasia (TTH) is a rare cause of a fat-containing mediastinal mass, most commonly found in infants and young children. We report a case of TTH in a 22-year-old adult, successfully managed via minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
