We report an unprecedented case of ectopic thymoma in a young adult. A 33-year-old male presented with a 10-day history of non-productive cough and fever. Investigation revealed mediastinal widening without pulmonary involvement. Computed tomography showed a large mass-14.8 × 10.8 × 8.4 cm-in the mid-posterior mediastinum, and a biopsy obtained by video-assisted thoracoscopy indicated that the mass was a tumor. Immunohistochemistry showed combined thymoma type AB1. Because of the considerable proportions of the tumor and its close proximity to major structures, the patient was treated with chemotherapy.
我们报告了一例年轻成年人中前所未有的异位胸腺瘤病例。一名33岁男性出现干咳和发热10天的病史。检查发现纵隔增宽但无肺部受累。计算机断层扫描显示中后纵隔有一个14.8×10.8×8.4厘米的大肿块,通过电视辅助胸腔镜活检表明该肿块是肿瘤。免疫组织化学显示为AB1型混合型胸腺瘤。由于肿瘤占比相当大且紧邻主要结构,该患者接受了化疗。
