ABSTRACT
A 49-year-old woman with myasthenia gravis who underwent left panpleuropneumonectomy for an invasive thymoma that disseminated through the left thoracic cavity. After six year, radiotherapy was conducted on the recurrent tumor in the left anterior chest wall. Two years later, the recurrent tumors in the intrapelvic and intrathoracic cavities were resected. It was thought that long-term survival was obtained by combining radiotherapy and surgical treatment in view of the patient's general condition, and of the recurrent invasive thymoma present in this case.
