There is disagreement about the ability of CT to detect isolated invasion of mediastinal vessels by malignant thymoma. Diagnosis usually depends on the absence of intact fat planes between the tumor mass and the adjacent vessel. We describe a rare case of CT demonstration of direct intraluminal invasion of a malignant thymoma into the superior vena cava and the right atrium.
关于CT检测恶性胸腺瘤对纵隔血管的孤立性侵犯的能力存在分歧。诊断通常取决于肿瘤块与相邻血管之间是否存在完整的脂肪平面。我们描述了一例罕见的CT显示恶性胸腺瘤直接腔内侵犯上腔静脉和右心房的病例。
