Abstract
Several surgical procedures, from debulking to extrapleural pneumonectomy, may be applied for stage IVa Masaoka thymomas, but their efficiency is still controversial. Case studies have favored R<sub>0</sub> resection as the cornerstone of multimodal therapy for locoregional metastatic extension. This report describes a standardized procedure combining a cytoreductive surgical procedure and intrathoracic chemohyperthermia on a 46-year-old patient presenting with B2 thymoma and synchronous unilateral pleural metastasis.
