Metastatic Thymoma: A Case Report Primary Right Anterior Mediastinal Thymoma and Metastatic Diaphragmatic Thymoma in the Same Time
Abstract
Although thymomas are characterized histologically by a benign appearance, they have the potential for aggressive local invasion, and occasionally they metastasize. Pulmonary metastases of thymomas are relatively rare. We report one patient Aim of the study: To present a patient who underwent surgery for resection of diaphragmatic thymoma and primary right anterior mediastinal thymoma. Methods and results: A 47-year-old woman presented to our clinic with symptomatic diaphragmal hernia symptoms. A chest CT scan showed a mediastinal mass and a right diaphragmatic mass. She didn’t present myasthenia gravis. The patient underwent surgical resection of both of these lesions. The histological diagnosis was type A thymoma with intrapulmonary metastasis, classified also as stage A. He did not receive any adjuvant therapy following the operation because the resection was complete. Operation and post operation period time was uneventfull. Three weeks after intervent the patient was sent to oncology clinic for further treatment.
