Lifesaving surgery for a ruptured invasive thymoma using the hemi-clamshell approach: a case report
2019
Background
Among anterior mediastinal tumors, a teratoma is known to rupture with growth, but there have been few previous reports about thymoma rupture. We here report a rare case of an invasive thymoma with intrapulmonary and intrathoracic rupture requiring emergency life-saving surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first such case in the literature.
