Thymic carcinoma is known for its aggressive nature and low survival rates. Due to the rarity of its presentation, particularly with multiple lymph node metastasis resembling lymphoproliferative disorders, emphasizes the need to share our case in the literature. We aimed to raise awareness among surgeons regarding this atypical presentation. Our findings indicate that, in cases of higher stage thymic carcinoma, lymph node dissection should be considered in addition to thymectomy. This recommendation is based on our research and can help guide treatment decisions for similar cases in the future.
胸腺癌以其侵袭性和低生存率而闻名。由于其临床表现罕见,尤其是出现类似淋巴增殖性疾病的多发淋巴结转移时,这凸显了在文献中分享我们病例的必要性。我们旨在提高外科医生对这种非典型表现的认识。我们的研究结果表明,对于晚期胸腺癌病例,除胸腺切除外,还应考虑进行淋巴结清扫。这一建议基于我们的研究,有助于指导未来类似病例的治疗决策。
