A 53-year-old man was admitted to hospital because of an anterior mediastinal mass. For definite diagnosis, needle biopsy was performed under ultrasonic examination. The histopathological diagnosis was thymoma and thymo-thymectomy was performed. The tumor recurred in the right anterior chest wall 10 years later. It is suggested that the thymoma tissue had been implanted in the needle tract. To our knowledge, this is the 2nd reported case of thymoma which has been implanted in the needle tract.
一名53岁男性因前纵隔肿块入院。为明确诊断，在超声检查下进行了针吸活检。组织病理学诊断为胸腺瘤，并进行了胸腺切除术。10年后肿瘤在右前胸壁复发。提示胸腺瘤组织已种植于针道。据我们所知，这是第2例报道的胸腺瘤种植于针道的病例。
