Cystic thymoma coexisting with vascular dysplasia.

Abstract:

:We report the case of a 23-year-old female patient, who was admitted to our hospital because of aggravating pain in the right shoulder, right chest and ear accompanied by cough and dyspnea. Imaging revealed a soft tissue mass in the mediastinum in close relation with an additional large mass extending in the right upper thorax, right axilla and neck. The tissue obtained during surgery showed the former mass to be a cystic thymoma, being in contact with an extensive vascular dysplasia. The characteristic clinical presentation, the contribution of imaging, the results of operation, and the follow-up are rather unique. The review of the literature did not reveal similar cases.
