Abstract

The majority of thymomas are found in the anterior mediastinum. Occasionally, some have been found in the neck, pulmonary hilus, or posterior mediastinum. A presented case of ectopic thymoma originating from pleura, mimicking benign fibrous tumor as rudiologically and cylologicaly at FNAI3 was presented in this paper. Post-operation analysis of the specimen was reported as mixed type, capsulated (stage 1) tymoma.

Özet

Timomaların büyük bir kısmı ön mediaternde yerleşir. Nadir olarak, boyun, pulmuner hitus ve posterior mediaslen yerleşimli timomalarda görülebilir. Bu yazıda radyolojik ve sitolojik bening fıbroz tümörü taklit eden, plevra orijinli ektopik lirnoma vakasını sunuldu. Spesimenin post-operasyon analizi mikst tip. kapsüllü (Evre I) timoma olarak rapor edilmiştir.
