Resumen

The authors report herein an incidental thymic observation at surgery of a cholesterin granuloma, associated to bicuspid aortic valve and psoriasic arthritis. The clinicopathological characteristics as well as the possible histogenesis are referred and discussed, excluding the traumatic nature of this condition, but stressing the chronic inflammatory degenerative origin.
