Thymoma

Thymoma is a thymic epithelial neoplasm (TEN; see this term), a rare malignancy that arises from the epithelium of the thymic gland.

Colitis

Colitis refers to an inflammation of the colon and is often used to describe an inflammation of the large intestine (colon, cecum and rectum). Colitides may be acute and self-limited or chronic, and broadly fit into the category of digestive diseases.

Graft-versus-host-like colitis associated with malignant thymoma.
Kornacki S, Hansen FC 3rd, Lazenby A.
Am J Surg Pathol. 1995;19(2):224-8.
This unusual form of colitis has not been previously reported to be associated with thymoma and is interesting in light of the role the thymus plays in immune regulation.
