Concurrent thymic stroma sarcoma (thymoliposarcoma) and breast carcinoma. Report of a case

Pathologica. 1993 Sep-Oct;85(1099):543-8.

Abstract

A case of sarcoma of thymic stroma with features of liposarcoma associated with breast carcinoma is presented. No previous reference was found in the literature to this association. It is possible that this event could be not entirely fortuitous but an element sustaining the pathogenetic theory relating stromal and epithelial neoplasias in the thymus.
