An Unusual Pleural Location of Thymoma Mimicking Malignant Mesothelioma: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

El Haouari A, Tahiri L, Moumna K, Remmilink M and Salmon I

Primary pleural thymomas are rare tumors often mistaken for malignant mesothelioma clinically and radiologically. The present study reports the case of a 39-year-old woman presented with a pleural tumor in the right thorax. The tumor was surgically resected and histopathologically diagnosed as ectopic primary pleural thymoma lacking any evidence of a médiastinal tumor. The clinicopathological futures of this unusual thymoma are also discussed.
