Abstract
This case report features a patient with an invasive thymoma. The patient presented with an anterior mediastinal mass that invaded the left brachiocephalic trunk vein, resulting in the formation of a carcinoma thrombus in the right atrium, superior vena cava, left brachiocephalic trunk vein, and left internal jugular vein (Masaoka stage IV). No indication for surgery was assessed by surgical consultation. After six cycles of chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy, the tumor size decreased from 72.43 to 24 mm, showing a significant improvement in patient efficacy. After a follow-up of 50 months, the patient remained well, without local recurrence or distal metastasis, and maintained a partial response (PR).
