"T1: typically the adipose tissue within the tumour is high T1 signal and the thymic component a more intermediate T1 signal"

Line 35:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T1:</strong> typically'

Ranges

warning

"Thymolipomas comprise ~5% (range 2-9%) of all thymic neoplasms, but are less common than a mediastinal lipoma of non-thymic origin. There is no recognised sex predilection and the reported age range is between 3-56 years, with a mean age of 22 years."

Line 3:213 · Don't add words such as 'from' or 'between' to describe a range of numbers.

"Associations"

Line 15:1 · "Associations" is under the wrong parent heading (found under "Pathology").

There Is

suggestion

"Thymolipomas comprise ~5% (range 2-9%) of all thymic neoplasms, but are less common than a mediastinal lipoma of non-thymic origin. There is no recognised sex predilection and the reported age range is between 3-56 years, with a mean age of 22 years."

Line 3:143 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Most thymolipomas are asymptomatic and found incidentally, often due to imaging of respiratory tract infection¹. Symptoms, when present, are attributable to displacement of mediastinal structures. Approximately 25% complain of non-specific symptoms such as cough, dyspnoea and chest pain, which may or may not be the result of the mass."

Line 5:273 · Use the Oxford comma in 'cough, dyspnoea and chest'.

"Surgical local resection is curative; there are no reports of recurrence, metastasis or mortality."

Line 39:66 · Use the Oxford comma in 'recurrence, metastasis or mortality'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"STIR/FS: shows complete suppression; consistent with subcutaneous fat"

Line 36:60 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"Surgical local resection is curative; there are no reports of recurrence, metastasis or mortality."

Line 39:40 · Use semicolons judiciously.
