    Surgical treatment of thymomas and thymic cysts showed excellent long-term survival, with no tumor-related deaths observed. Postoperative outcomes varied, including rare recurrences and effects on myasthenia gravis.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Thymomas and thymic cysts are rare mediastinal neoplasms.
    • Surgical resection is the primary treatment modality.
    • Long-term outcomes and potential complications require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients surgically treated for thymomas and thymic cysts.
    • To assess tumor recurrence rates and survival.
    • To analyze the impact of surgery on associated conditions like myasthenia gravis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 19 thymoma and 5 thymic cyst cases over 20 years.
    • Surgical treatment with varying approaches and adjuvant therapies.
    • Long-term follow-up to assess survival, recurrence, and associated conditions.

    Main Results:

    • 24 patients underwent surgery; one operative death.
    • No tumor-related deaths occurred at an average follow-up of 7.4 years.
    • One recurrence observed 3.5 years postoperatively; myasthenia gravis outcomes were mixed.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical management of thymomas and thymic cysts offers favorable long-term survival.
    • Careful follow-up is essential to detect rare recurrences.
    • The effect on myasthenia gravis is variable and warrants further study.
