Abstract

Primary intrapulmonary thymoma (PIT), defined as the presence of thymoma tissue in the lung without an accompanying mediastinal component, is uncommon and so offers a diagnostic quandary. We describe the case of PIT in an 81-year-old man.

Keywords: oncology; primary intrapulmonary thymoma; respiratory medicine; thymoma.
