I was diagnosed with thymic hyperplasia and liver cancer due to hepatocarcinoma, will the hyperplasia always be benign or why does it come out?

@mrodriguezc, Thymic hyperplasia is an abnormal growth of the thymus and the thymus becomes enlarged. It is often described with other non-cancerous tumours of the thymus, but it is not an actual tumour. Thymic hyperplasia is associated with myasthenia gravis and other autoimmune diseases.
