Thymoma, the most common neoplasm of the anterior mediastinum especially in adults, accounts for 20-25% of all mediastinal tumors and 50% of anterior mediastinal masses. These tumors are routinely asymptomatic for prolonged periods of time. Pericardial tamponade is a very rare initial manifestation of a thymoma. This report presents a patient who had hemorrhagic pericardial tamponade that likely resulted from the largest symptomatic mixed type (type AB) thymoma described in the literature.
胸腺瘤是前纵隔最常见的肿瘤,尤其在成年人中,占所有纵隔肿瘤的20%-25%以及前纵隔肿物的50%。这些肿瘤通常在很长一段时间内没有症状。心包填塞是胸腺瘤非常罕见的初始表现。本报告介绍了一名患有出血性心包填塞的患者,其心包填塞可能是由文献中描述的最大的有症状混合型(AB型)胸腺瘤引起的。
