Abstract
We report a case of basaloid carcinoma of the thymus, confirmed by histopathological examination, in a 52-year-old man who underwent complete resection. Local recurrence and lung metastases developed, which were obliterated by radiation therapy. The patient survived for 81 months after surgery. We reviewed the 13 other cases of basaloid carcinoma of the thymus reported in the literature. Presumably, this tumor is radiosensitive and its metastatic route is blood-borne.Entities:
