title: A Rare Giant Pleural Thymoma in Posterior Mediastinum. creator: Kalloli, M creator: Vijayakumar, M creator: Srinivas, C creator: Ramachandra, C subject: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences description: Thymoma is an epithelial neoplasm of the thymus, which commonly lies in the anterior mediastinum. Unusually, thymomas can also be found in other locations. Surgical excision, when feasible, appears to provide good results. We encountered a rare case of a thymoma that developed in the right thoracic cavity, and originating from the pleura in posterior mediastinum. We describe the clinical scenario, investigations, and our management of the patient. publisher: Kakkilaya BS contributor: Kakkilaya, Dr Srinivas date: 2012-10-25 type: Journal (On-line/Unpaginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/8919/1/2012-3-9.pdf identifier: Kalloli, M and Vijayakumar, M and Srinivas, C and Ramachandra, C (2012) A Rare Giant Pleural Thymoma in Posterior Mediastinum.
