Abstract
In adults thymoma are the most common primary tumor in the anterior mediastinum but thymoma with extensive necrosis is extremely rare. This presentation of thymoma is challenging for both pathologists and radiologists. Massive areas of necrosis makes it difficult to report and categorize without the immunohistochemical staining. We present a case of a 42 year old female from himachal Pradesh, India presenting with chest pain and pain radiating to right arm which was diagnosed as a thymoma with extensive necrosis.
Keywords: Thymoma, extensive necrosis, anterior mediastinal mass.
