ABSTRACT

We report an unprecedented case of ectopic thymoma in a young adult. A 33-year-old male presented with a 10-day history of non-productive cough and fever. Investigation revealed mediastinal widening without pulmonary involvement. Computed tomography showed a large mass-14.8 × 10.8 × 8.4 cm-in the mid-posterior mediastinum, and a biopsy obtained by video-assisted thoracoscopy indicated that the mass was a tumor. Immunohistochemistry showed combined thymoma type AB1. Because of the considerable proportions of the tumor and its close proximity to major structures, the patient was treated with chemotherapy.


Apresentamos caso inédito de volumoso timoma ectópico em adulto jovem. Homem de 33 anos de idade, encaminhado com tosse seca e febre diária havia 10 dias. Durante investigação observou-se alargamento mediastinal sem comprometimento pulmonar. Um tumor mediastinal medioposterior, medindo 14,8 × 10,8 × 8,4 cm, foi diagnosticado após tomografia computadorizada e biópsia videotoracoscópica. A imuno-histoquímica revelou timoma misto AB1. Devido à íntima relação com estruturas nobres e grandes proporções, optou-se pela quimioterapia.
