A 39-year-old woman underwent tumor resection for an encapsulated cervical ectopic thymoma (type A). However 7 years after complete resection, computed tomography (CT) screening detected a 9-mm pulmonary nodule, which was completely resected and was diagnosed as a metastasis from the ectopic thymoma. There have been few reports on cervical ectopic thymoma metastasizing to a distant site and, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a cervical ectopic type A thymoma with distant metastasis.
一位 39 岁女性因包裹性宫颈异位胸腺瘤(A型)接受了肿瘤切除术。然而,在完全切除 7 年后,计算机断层扫描(CT)筛查发现一个 9 毫米的肺结节,该结节被完全切除并被诊断为异位胸腺瘤的转移。关于宫颈异位胸腺瘤转移到远处部位的报道很少,据我们所知,这是首例宫颈异位 A 型胸腺瘤远处转移的病例报告。
