Furthermore, compared to a VATS thymectomy via the lateral chest, decreased use of postoperative analgesics (lower doses and shorter duration), decreased blood loss, and shorter surgical

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.We report a case of conventional type A thymoma with synchronous solitary pulmonary metastasis treated with simultaneous resection. This case suggests that pulmonary metastasis can occur even in small and low‐grade type A thymoma. Simultaneous resection for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes may be considered to achieve favourable outcomes.
