Abstract

We report a case of a 55 years old male patient who presented with left vocal cord palsy subsequently found to be due to the presence of a thymic mass. The thymic mass underwent a spontaneous and complete regression in size over a period of 2 months with subsequent improvement in the left vocal cord mobility.
