Abstract
Thymic carcinoma is a rare tumor arising from the thymus, which is most commonly located in the anterior mediastinum. We report a 24-year-old woman who presented with a neck tumor. The patient underwent complete resection and the pathology sections showed thymic carcinoma. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. After a 6-month follow-up, the patient is well without any evidence of recurrence.
