Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported Bosnian case of B2 thymoma invading the brachiocephalic vein and superior vena cava and infiltrating both the right atrium and ventricle, causing superior vena cava syndrome. Despite their rarity, thymomas should always be considered in patients presenting with an enlarged mediastinum.
