We report an adenocarcinoma of the thymus in a 39-year-old male. The patient presented with chest pain, and the chest X-ray film and chest CT showed an abnormal mass in the mediastinum. A preoperative clinical diagnosis of invasive thymoma was suspected. The tumor was resected along with the pleura and pericardium. The pathological findings were compatible with those of adenocarcinoma of the thymus. Despite a thorough examination, no primary tumor could be found. An adenocarcinoma of the thymus is rare and to the authors knowledge there are few previous reports in the literature.
我们报告一例39岁男性的胸腺腺癌。患者表现为胸痛，胸部X线片和胸部CT显示纵隔有异常肿块。术前临床怀疑为侵袭性胸腺瘤。肿瘤连同胸膜和心包一起切除。病理结果与胸腺腺癌相符。尽管进行了全面检查，但未发现原发肿瘤。胸腺腺癌很罕见，据作者所知，文献中此前鲜有报道。
