Abstract
We report a case of pleural dissemination of invasive thymoma, which was successfully treated with intrathoracic chemothermotherapy following panpleuropneumonectomy. Intrathoracic chemothermotherapy in combination with surgery may be a hopeful adjuvant treatment to control pleural disseminated lesions of invasive thymoma.
