Contribution of laparoscopic surgery to the diagnosis of ovarian metastasis from thymoma: A rare case and review of the literature
Ovarian metastasis from thymoma is extremely rare but should be considered in patients with a history of thymoma presenting with adnexal masses. This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of laparoscopic surgery. Our findings add to the limited literature on extrathoracic spread of thymoma and highlight the role of minimally invasive techniques in such diagnostic challenges.
