| description | Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thymus is an extremely rare malignant mediasti-nal
neoplasm, and to our knowledge, only 13 cases have been reported. We report
a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thymus that was seen in a 53-yr-old
man with right chest pain. Chest CT scan showed a huge, cystic mass having a focal
solid portion with direct invasion of the adjacent anterior chest wall and pericardium
in the anterior mediastinum. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thymus should be
included in the differential diagnosis for masses of the anterior mediastinum asso-ciated with extensive cystic changes, although the carcinoma is exceedingly rare. KCI Citation Count: 3 |
