Abstract
In 1999, the World Health Organization introduced a new classification of a rare thymic cancer called papillary adenocarcinoma of the thymus gland. In this study we report on a case of papillary thymic carcinoma in a 29-year-old woman. Histologically, the tumor consisted of a papillary component admixed with a solid component, a component that is commonly found in type A thymoma.
