Thymic tumors are uncommon, and malignant variants of such neoplasms are rare. Hence, the association of two siblings with aggressive tumors of the thymus is not likely to be a coincidence. We report on two brothers with thymic epithelial neoplasms, one being a thymic carcinoma and the other an invasive spindle cell thymoma with associated hypogammaglobulinemia.
胸腺瘤并不常见,此类肿瘤的恶性变体更是罕见。因此,两名兄弟姐妹均患有侵袭性胸腺瘤不太可能是巧合。我们报告了两兄弟患有胸腺上皮肿瘤,其中一人患胸腺癌,另一人患侵袭性梭形细胞胸腺瘤并伴有低丙种球蛋白血症。
