Abstract
We describe a case of recurrent metastatic thymoma showing an excellent response to salvage paclitaxel monotherapy. The patient had undergone a series of platinum-based chemotherapy treatments during the previous 20-month period and the patient's disease was considered resistant to such therapy at the start of treatment with paclitaxel. This is the first report to suggest that paclitaxel has anti-thymoma activity.Entities:
