A rare case of thymoma with entire-tumor calcification

A 49-year-old woman presented with cough, and chest X-rays showed an abnormal shadow. Chest computed tomography showed an anterior mediastinal 40-mm mass with massive calcification. The patient underwent mediastinal tumor excision performed using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Pathological fi...

description A 49-year-old woman presented with cough, and chest X-rays showed an abnormal shadow. Chest computed tomography showed an anterior mediastinal 40-mm mass with massive calcification. The patient underwent mediastinal tumor excision performed using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Pathological findings revealed the tumor to be a type B3 thymoma, with massive calcification occupying almost all of the thymoma. Due to high risk of recurrence, we performed completion thymectomy. Pathological findings revealed no remaining thymoma tissue in the residual thymus. Mediastinal tumor with entire calcification could be a candidate for surgical excision.
