Here we present our experience with this tumor in a patient who was treated successfully at our department.

Immunohistochemistry was suggestive of Type A thymoma. Patient underwent en-mass removal of the thymoma via midline sternotomy. Patient had a smooth post operative recovery. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary approach is needed both for diagnosis as well as successful management of patients with thymoma.
