Thymic carcinoma with brain metastases: A rare presentation of a rare malignancy
Thymic carcinoma is an uncommon malignant neoplasm arising from the epithelial cells of the thymus. Despite aggressive local treatment, patients with thymic carcinoma tend to relapse at distant sites; including: regional lymph nodes, bone, liver and lung. Brain metastases are seldom seen in cases of thymic malignancies. Herein we report a case of thymic carcinoma complicated by brain metastases.
