thymoma/headache

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease. Approximately 15% of patients with MG have thymoma. Approximately 30% to 40% of them are invasive. A 26-year-old man was admitted with cough and difficulty breathing. He had transsternal thymectomy resulting from MG accompanied by thymoma 6 years

OBJECTIVE Thymic carcinoma is an uncommon malignant tumor that is different from thymoma. Cranial and brain metastases from this tumor are extremely rare. We report a thymic carcinoma with cranial metastasis and discuss the behavior of this tumor. METHODS A 50-year-old man presented with headache

Brain metastasis from thymic carcinoma is extremely rare, and there is still no consensus regarding the best management of thymic metastasis to the central nervous system. Here, we report the first-known Australian case. A review of the current literature and the characteristics of thymic tumours

Thymic epithelial tumors (TET) are rare lesions. The brain metastases of these tumors are even rarer. We report a case of brain metastases in a known patient with a thymic carcinoma diagnosed in October 2016. She was a 73-year-old woman who presented with headache, nausea, and right hemiplegia.

BACKGROUND Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are uncommon lesions, and cerebral metastases from these tumors are even rarer. We report a case of a posterior fossa metastasis in a patient with a known history of thymic carcinoma. METHODS A 47-year-old man with a history of Hodgkin lymphoma and thymic

Ectopic cervical or cervico-mediastinal thymomas are very rare and most of them are asymptomatic, except for the presence of a cervical mass. We present the case of a 71-year-old man with an ectopic cervico-mediastinal thymoma threatening superior vena cava syndrome. He had a slight headache and

BACKGROUND Thymic carcinoma is an uncommon malignant tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Meningeal metastasis from this type of neoplasm is extraordinarily rare and the prognosis is abysmal. METHODS This article presents the case of a 45-year-old man with known metastatic thymic carcinoma who

BACKGROUND Patients with thymoma are found to have another systemic illness and a broadly increased risk for secondary malignancies. We present the case of a 53-year-old female patient who harbored two synchronous primary malignant neoplasms-an anaplastic oligodendroglioma of the right frontal lobe

Acquired immunodeficiency associated with thymoma is a rare disorder. Here we reported a case of acquired immunodeficiency with thymoma, with an unusual pattern of low CD4⁺ count with normal gammaglobulin levels.

A

BACKGROUND Thymomas are typically benign tumors of thymic epithelium. Metastases to distal sites, particularly intracranial locations, are extremely rare. Herein, we present the third case of thymoma and the second invasive thymoma to metastasize to the cavernous sinus, adjacent to the

A 49-year-old white female presented to the emergency room complaining of severe headaches. A brain computed tomography (CT) showed a large right temporal mass that measured 2.9 x 5 cm. Sodium was low at admission, which indicated syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH).

Thymic carcinomas are rare epithelial malignancies with marked invasive tendency which can metastasize to distant organs, most commonly to the lung, bone, liver, kidney and extra-thoracic lymph nodes. Central nervous system metastasis is extremely rare and only 45 such cases have been reported in

Good's syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency phenocopy characterized for thymoma and immunodeficiency. The most frequent clinical presentation is recurrent or opportunistic infections, hematological alterations, and chronic diarrhea. We treated a 66-year-old man who consulted for 5 days of headache

Complement is likely to have a role in refractory generalised myasthenia gravis, but no approved therapies specifically target this system. Results from a phase 2 study suggested that eculizumab, a terminal complement inhibitor, produced clinically meaningful improvements in patients with
