Abstract

Thymic epithelial neoplasms are unusual tumors that may span the gamut from clinically benign, well-differentiated lesions (encapsulated thymoma) to overtly malignant, poorly differentiated neoplasms (thymic carcinoma). It has been commonly believed that lesions displaying obvious cytologic features of malignancy (i.e., thymic carcinoma) represent a unique and separate group that is histogenetically distinct from thymoma. We have studied 22 cases of thymic epithelial neoplasms characterized by the admixture of areas displaying conventional features of thymoma with areas showing features of thymic carcinoma. The tumors occurred in six women and 16 men whose ages ranged from 23 to 83 years (median, 53). The lesions presented in eight patients with symptoms of chest discomfort resulting from the involvement of surrounding structures; in 14 patients, they were asymptomatic and discovered incidentally on routine chest radiographs. Histologically, most tumors showed a combination of conventional thymomatous elements with well-differentiated squamous-cell carcinoma (10 cases), followed by thymoma and poorly-differentiated squamous carcinoma (seven cases) and spindle-cell thymoma with poorly-differentiated squamous carcinoma (five case...Continue Reading
