When the tumor grows to a certain size, common early symptoms of thymoma are chest pain, chest tightness, cough, and discomfort in the anterior chest. The nature of chest pain is non-characteristic and varies in severity. In the early stages of thymoma, some patients may be found to have mediastinal tumor shadows during physical examination, chest X-ray or chest film. So, what are the common symptoms of thymoma in the early stages? Let’s take a look.

Severe chest pain, symptoms rapidly worsening in a short period of time, severe irritating cough, dyspnea caused by pleural effusion, palpitations and shortness of breath caused by pericardial effusion, and bone pain all over the body, please pay attention.

The unique manifestation of thymoma is the combination of certain syndromes, such as myasthenia gravis, simple red cell aplasia, hypoglobulinemia, nephritis nephrotic syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, lupus erythematosus, megaesophagus, etc. I believe you have a certain understanding of the symptoms of thymoma through the above introduction. Everyone should pay special attention to this.

Patients with swallowing difficulties should be given intravenous nutritional support to improve nutritional deficiencies. A tracheotomy bag should be available at the bedside for patients with thymoma.

3. Notes:
