Symptoms Of Thymoma

Swelling

When tumors due to thymoma begin to affect the major blood vessel, called the superior vena cava, located between the heart and the head, individuals may develop a condition known as superior vena cava syndrome. While superior vena cava syndrome is one of the rarer conditions that develop due to thymoma, it is still possible. In any case, one of the hallmark symptoms of thymoma, when it progresses to this point, is swelling in the face, upper chest, and neck. This kind of swelling can also turn into a bluish color. Individuals who present with swelling as a symptom, in addition to swelling in the neck, face, and upper chest, may also find the visible veins in this part of the body also begin to swell.
