Abstract
We describe case studies of two patients who underwent resection of paratracheal middle mediastinal thymic carcinomas. In both patients, complete resection of these masses via right thoracotomy was performed using three-dimensional computed tomography. Final pathologic diagnoses were thymic squamous cell carcinoma and thymic atypical carcinoid tumor. Challenges and debates in preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management are discussed in this article.
