A 43-year-old female with a thymic carcinoma spreading to the extrathorac region is reported. She had received radiation and chemotherapy, after that thymic carcinoma was extirpated. Five months later, the patient was noticed to have a right side hemiparesis, following consciousness disturbance. CT and MRI revealed a left thalamic mass with a heterogenous enhancement effect. The tumor was diminished dramatically due to radiation. Metastasis of thymic carcinoma to the central nervous system is discussed.
