Abstract

Timik mukoepidermoid karsinoma, anterior mediastende izlenen nadir bir malignitedir. Literatürde açıklanan 30'dan az vaka mevcuttur. Bizim olgumuz; sağ göğüs ağrısı olan, toraks BT’de anterior mediastende komşu perikardın direkt invazyonu ile fokal bir solid kısma sahip lobüle kistik kitle tespit edilen 77 yaşında bir erkek hastaydı. Anterior mediastinal kitlesi için herhangi bir komplikasyon olmaksızın sağ torakoskopik cerrahi ile rezeksiyon uygulandı. Sorunsuz bir iyileşme sürecinden sonra postoperatif altıncı günde taburcu edildi.

Thymic mucoepidermoid carcinoma: A case report

Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thymus is a rare malignant neoplasm of the anterior mediastinum. There are less than 30 cases described in the English literature. We report a case of a 77-year- old man with right chest pain. Thorax-CT scan showed a lobulated cystic mass having a focal solid portion with direct invasion of the adjacent pericardium in the anterior mediastinum. He underwent surgical resection for his anterior mediastinal mass via right thoracoscopic surgery without any complication. He had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the sixth postoperative day.
