Simultaneous Resection for Type A Thymoma With Synchronous Solitary Pulmonary Metastasis: A Case Report

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.

Neoadjuvant Glucocorticoids Facilitate Resection in Advanced B‐Type Thymomas: A Propensity‐Matched Analysis of Surgical and Survival Outcomes

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Neoadjuvant glucocorticoids facilitated less invasive and more complete resection of advanced B‐type thymomas, leading to reduced operative morbidity and improved progression‐free survival compared to upfront surgery. This study supports a novel downstaging strategy for this challenging disease.

Endoscopic Ultrasound–Guided Diagnosis of Mediastinal Ectopic Thyroid in a High‐Risk Elderly Male

Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT) is a rare condition that predominantly affects women, often during periods of hormonal stimulation. Mediastinal involvement is even more uncommon. We present a case of ETT in a male patient with atypical demographics and a history of renal cell carcinoma, presenting as a large mediastinal mass measuring 6.0 × 4.6 × 4.5 cm ...

A Case of Microscopic Thymoma and Myasthenia Gravis: Key Points for Clinical Features and Surgical Management

Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Microscopic thymoma (MT) is defined as solitary or multifocal small thymic epithelial nests <1 mm in diameter, occurring in approximately 15% of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and sometimes associated with thymic cysts. Its preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its small size, and computed tomography (CT) scans are unable to detect it. MTs

Robotic‐Assisted Extended Thymus Carcinoma Resection With Unilateral Total Pleurectomy and Hyperthermic Intrathoracic Chemotherapy (HITOC)

Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Thymic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an aggressive form of thymic cancer that is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITOC) is a treatment option for advanced thoracic and especially pleural malignancies, though it is not yet the standard of care.
