Abstract:
We report the case of a widely invasive thymoma non-associated with myasthenia gravis which responded only to high doses of corticosteroids. We review the other few reported cases of complete response achieved by this treatment and we stress the possible use of high doses of corticosteroids in the management of recurrent invasive thymoma.
