===Tumours of the Thymus===
*Benign
:- Thymoma (localised)
::- predominantly epithelial
::- predominantly lymphocytic
*Malignant
:- Thymic lymphosarcoma
::- poorly encapsulated
::- atrial and heart base infiltration
::- infiltration beneath sternal pleura
::- involvement of lung unusual
===''Rhodococcus equi''===
*pathogen of the equine lung (and intestine)
*cutaneous abscesses, cellulitis in young horses
*CELLULITIS = deep suppurative infection often dissecting through tissue planes
