Thymoma with Sacral Metastasis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thymomas are the most common type of mass found in adult anterior mediastinal masses. Thymomas typically metastasize to the ribcage because of their slow growth and affinity for local invasion. Far metastases are rare, with the brain as the most commonly metastasized area. Bone metastases of thymomas are usually observed in the calvarium. A 60-year-old patient, who presented with metastatic mass lesions that developed 18 months after undergoing a surgery for mediastinal thymomas in the sacrum and iliac bones detected by computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathology, is the first mediastinal thymoma case with metastasis to the sacrum in the literature.

Cutaneous Metastasis from Sacral Chordoma: A Case Report
Chordoma is a malignant, slow growing and locally aggressive tumor. It arises from remnants of the notochord and accounts for 1–4% of all primary bone tumors. They usually arise from anywhere along the spine, from base of the skull to the sacrococcygeal area and usually do not metastasize. Chordomas are slow-growing tumors which are not responsive to conventional chemotherapy or radiation. They...

INTRODUCTION Type AB thymoma is generally considered a benign tumor with excellent prognosis. Rare case reports of type A and AB thymomas with recurrence and metastasis have been documented, although extrathoracic metastases are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of type AB thymoma with solitary metastasis to the breast. CASE PRESENTATION We describe...
متن کاملMetastatic Thymoma of the Breast
Breast metastasis from nonmammary malignant neoplasms is uncommon, and it accounts for approximately 2% of all breast tumors. Distant metastasis of thymoma is very rare, and especially to extrathorcic areas. We report a female who had a metastatic thymoma in her breast 20 years after undergoing resection for a non-invasive thymoma. She presented with a palpable mass in her left breast. Mammogra...
متن کاملThymoma Metastasis to the Semimembranosus Muscle
Thymoma is the most common thymic epithelial tumor whose classification was first introduced in 1999. Type B2 thymoma is considered a moderate/high-risk tumor; however, extrathoracic metastases are extremely rare with limited reports to date. In this report, we present a rare thymoma metastasis to the semimembranosus muscle, which was resected with a wide margin after confirmation by open biops...
