Description

Ling You and co-authors report in 2025 a rare disease case in the chest of a 28-year-old woman. The disease grows extra immune tissue, usually as painless swollen glands, and its cause is unknown. It seldom appears alone inside the chest, and its signs are vague, so only tissue study can confirm it.

The woman had coughed for a year with no clear cause. A chest scan showed a soft mass, about seven centimeters long, in the upper front of the chest. Surgeons removed the mass in one piece along with tissue it had invaded. The authors argue this full removal is dependable and can lead to a good outcome, and they urge doctors to keep the disease in mind for chest masses.
