Abstract:
We report a case of invasive lympho-epithelial thymoma with pulmonary metastases, treated by complete macroscopic excision of primary tumour and then by chemotherapy using CHOP-BLEO. The epithelial nature of the tumour was confirmed by immunohistochemical studies. Chemotherapy enabled a complete and prolonged remission (greater than 63 months). Therapeutic trials of CHOP-BLEO merit further assessment and the results should be compared to the baseline treatment using platinum and prednisolone.
