Abstract:
A thymic basaloid carcinoma is rare, as is an unusual case with extra-thoracic metastasis. We report on a 41-year-old woman who had a thymic basaloid carcinoma with liver metastases. The patient underwent resection of the thymic basaloid carcinoma followed by curative partial hepatectomy. At 1 year later, another metastatic lesion developed in the residual liver, which was also curatively resected. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient is surviving without recurrence for 12 months, to date.
