Abstract
A 58-year-old man was found to have a basaloid carcinoma of the thymus, initially detected as an abnormal shadow on chest radiograph. The patient underwent resection followed by radiotherapy, and has survived 25 months without recurrence. Although this rare tumor may be related to multilocular thymic cyst, its pathogenesis is obscure. We discuss clinicopathologic features of our case and others.
