Abstract:
True sarcoma of thymus has no epithelial component. This tumor behaves aggressively with invasion of adjacent structures. Only a few anecdotal case reports of this tumor are found in the English-language literature, and they describe a poor outcome. This case report describes a rapidly growing thymic sarcoma diagnosed at an advanced stage with a compressive effect on the heart. The tumor was resected en bloc with adjacent invaded structures.
