Thymic carcinoma is rare, with resulting treatment of patients with extrathoracic metastasis being on a case-by-case basis. We describe the management of a woman in her 70s with an incidentally discovered cystic hepatic lesion with confirmation of a solitary extrathoracic metastasis from a synchronous primary thymic carcinoma. Following chemotherapy and staged resection of the metastasis and the primary tumour, the patient remained free of disease on radiological surveillance 6 months postoperatively.
胸腺癌罕见,伴胸外转移的患者的治疗需根据具体情况而定。我们描述了一位 70 多岁女性的治疗经过,她因偶然发现的肝囊性病变而行进一步检查,证实存在源自同步原发性胸腺癌的单发胸外转移。该患者接受了化疗,并分期切除了转移灶和原发性肿瘤,术后 6 个月影像学监测未见疾病复发。
