Introduction: Cushing syndrome is due to an ectopic secreting adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in 10 % to 20% of cases. Among them, thymic tumors represent almost half of cases. It has been described that patients sometimes develop benign hyperplasia after hypercortisolism correction.

Aim(s): We represent a case of a thymic tumor to enhance the awareness of this entity in order to avert diagnostic thoracotomy.
