No references found | In addition to the prior list of misdiagnoses, thymoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and interdigitating reticulum cell sarcoma could be considered. Benjamin Castleman, the pathologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, subsequently described 13 cases of asymptomatic localised mediastinal masses demonstrating lymph node hyperplasia resembling thymoma in 1956 [2]. Furthermore, the stimulatory effect of the alcohol fractions on IL-4 production was closely associated with the increase of NF-AT binding activity, indicating that the alcohol fractions of Scapharca broughtonii stimulated IL-4 production in EL4 T thymoma cells via increased NF-AT DNA binding activity. |
