An extensive review of the literature suggests that ours is the first case of encapsulated thymoma metastasizing to a skeletal muscle. A 43-year-old man underwent thymothymectomy for encapsulated Masaoka's stage I thymoma. Four years after complete resection, the tumor metastasized to the left pectoralis major muscle. Although a few reports exist on encapsulated thymoma metastasizing to a distant site, the literature does not describe encapsulated thymoma metastasizing to a skeletal muscle insofar as we could find.
对文献的广泛回顾表明，我们的病例是首例包膜型胸腺瘤转移至骨骼肌。一名43岁男性因包膜型Masaoka I期胸腺瘤接受了胸腺切除术。完全切除术后四年，肿瘤转移至左侧胸大肌。尽管有一些关于包膜型胸腺瘤转移至远处部位的报道，但就我们所能查到的文献而言，尚无包膜型胸腺瘤转移至骨骼肌的描述。
