| description | Thymomas comprise about 1% of all mediastinal tumours and are rare in children.
Typically, these tumours are aggressive, with a poor outcome. The current treatment of
invasive thymoma is often multidisciplinary. We report a 16-year-old boy with invasive
thymoma who was successfully treated with systemic chemotherapy, surgical
resection and irradiation. The patient has been in continuous remission for 6 years
without radiographic evidence of tumour recurrence. |
