Abstract

Fifteen percent of the Myastenia Gravis patients have thymoma. Invasive thymomas are rarely seen. Microscopic or macroscopic local invasion is encountered in 30% to 60% of the cases. We found a right intrapleural thymoma showing middle lobe invasion and thymic hyperplasia together during operation of one of our female patients who is medically treated and symptomaticaly undercontrolled. In this case report, we aimed to discuss about ectopic thymomas.

Özet

Myastenia Gravis'li hastaların %15'inde timoma bulunmaktadır. İnvazyon gösteren timomalar ise oldukça nadirdir. Olguların %30-60'ında mikroskopik veya makroskopik lokal İnvazyon mevcuttur. Myastenia Gravis (Osserman ve Genkins sınıflaması, sınıf I) tanısı konan ve medikal olarak semptomları kontrol altına alınan bir bayan hastamızda, ameliyat sırasında timüs hiperplazisine ilave olarak sağ plevra içinde orta loba İnvazyon gösteren timoma saptadık. Bu yazımızda, bu olgu çerçevesinde ektopik yerleşimli timomalan irdelemeyi amaçladık.
