Ann Thorac Surg. 2003 Dec;76(6):2082-5. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(03)01050-6.

Abstract

Thymoliposarcoma is an exceedingly rare thymic neoplasm with only five reports in English literature to date. We report another patient, a 36-year-old male, who developed local recurrences 4-years after initial resection. The clinicopathologic features of the present and previously reports were compared with particular emphasis on their morphologic spectrum and differential diagnosis.
