90% of all thymomas are localized in the anterior-superior mediastinum, seldom in the inferior or posterior mediastinum. We report the rare case of a 61 year-old female patient who presented with a large thymoma of the anterior-inferior mediastinum with the chief complaint of position-dependent dyspnoea secondary to compression of the left lung. Surgical resection of a tumor weighing 1053 g was successfully performed and 8 months postoperatively the patients is asymptomatic and without evidence of recurrence.
所有胸腺瘤中有90%位于前上纵隔，很少位于下纵隔或后纵隔。我们报告了一例罕见病例，一名61岁女性患者，患有前下纵隔的巨大胸腺瘤，主要症状为因左肺受压导致的体位性呼吸困难。成功实施了重达1053克肿瘤的手术切除，术后8个月患者无症状且无复发迹象。
