Abstract

An autopsy case of thymic carcinoma is reported. The surgically excised cystic tumour from a 38-year-old Japanese male mimicked a thymic cyst pathologically. After a clinical course of 6 years, postmortem examination disclosed extensive metastases, including cystic lesions lined by benign-looking squamous epithelium. This evidence suggested that the present tumour was not of the specific variants of thymic carcinoma and not a thymic cyst with malignant transformation.

摘要

报告了一例胸腺癌尸检病例。一名38岁日本男性手术切除的囊性肿瘤在病理上类似胸腺囊肿。经过6年的临床病程，尸检发现广泛转移，包括内衬看似良性鳞状上皮的囊性病变。这一证据表明，目前的肿瘤并非胸腺癌的特定变体，也不是发生恶性转化的胸腺囊肿。
