Article Title: Unusual late presentation of metastatic extrathoracic thymoma to gastrohepatic lymph node treated by surgical resection
Abstract: In advanced stages, thymic tumors tend to spread locally. Distant metastatic disease is rare. We present the first report of single metastatic abdominal lymph node in a 37-year-old female patient and 5 years after an extrapleural pneumonectomy for stage IV thymoma followed by radiotherapy with no other evidence of abdominal disease successfully treated by robotic surgical resection. © 2015, The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.
