Persistent hyperplasia of thymus - what does this mean

Persistent hyperplasia of the thymus is an abnormal enlargement of the thymus gland, which is located in the upper chest and is responsible for producing white blood cells. it occurs when the thymus is unable to properly regulate its own growth, resulting in an excessive production of white blood cells and an enlargement of the thymus. this can lead to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, and fatigue.

What happens during the disease - persistent hyperplasia of thymus

Persistent hyperplasia of the thymus is a condition caused by an overgrowth of thymic tissue, which is believed to be due to an abnormal production of lymphoid stem cells. this leads to an increase in t-cell production, which causes the thymus to become enlarged and can lead to disruption of the normal functioning of the immune system.
