Thymoma is the most common thymic epithelial tumor whose classification was first introduced in 1999. Type B2 thymoma is considered a moderate/high-risk tumor; however, extrathoracic metastases are extremely rare with limited reports to date. In this report, we present a rare thymoma metastasis to the semimembranosus muscle, which was resected with a wide margin after confirmation by open biopsy. At the final follow-up after 1 year, no local recurrence has been observed.
胸腺瘤是最常见的胸腺上皮肿瘤,其分类于1999年首次提出。B2型胸腺瘤被认为是中/高危肿瘤;然而,胸外转移极为罕见,迄今为止相关报道有限。在本报告中,我们呈现了一例罕见的胸腺瘤转移至半膜肌的病例,经开放活检确诊后进行了广泛切除。在1年的最终随访中,未观察到局部复发。
