Abstract
A case of invasive thymoma with intra-caval and intracardiac extension presenting as superior vena cava syndrome is reported. The tumor is excised on cardiopulmonary bypass, and superior vena cava is bypassed using a Dacron graft (DuPont, Wilmington, DE). Five-year follow-up of the patient showed a patent graft.
