ABSTRACT
A 36-year-old man, who had never been detected abnormalities on an annual chest X-ray check up, presented with a sudden onset of right-sided chest pain and fever. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed an anterior mediastinal mass with necrosis or hemorrhage and right pleural effusion. Neither computed tomography-guided biopsy nor video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) yielded definitive histological diagnosis due to insufficiency of the sample. For diagnosis and treatment, we performed thymectomy. Histopathologically, the tumor was almost entirely necrotic with few viable tumor cells on periphery. A diagnosis of B2 thymoma was rendered.
