Thymoma with Intravascular Tumor Thrombus in the Left Brachiocephalic Vein: A Case Report
Thymomas can invade vessels through intravascular growth, and contrast-enhanced CT is important for accurately diagnosing such cases. In this instance, preoperative identification of the tumor thrombus enabled a comprehensive surgical approach, resulting in complete resection of the tumor and thrombus, without the need for embolization. This case underscores the significance of meticulous imaging and surgical planning in the management of complex thymomas to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
