Abstract
Thymomas are a variant of thymic epithelial tumours. They are considered malignant due to their tendency to local invasion and they showed lower metastatic behaviour. Distal metastasis is rare and an endobronchial mass is a rare presentation. First-line treatment for early-stage thymomas is surgery; for Masaoka-Koga stage III, neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemoradiation therapy should be considered in association with surgery after Multidisciplinary Tumour Board evaluation. We report a rare case of radical resection with type A extended-sleeve lobectomy in a 63-year-old woman who was affected by endobronchial recurrence of B3 thymoma, 31 months after complete and radical thymectomy.
