Outpatient video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy in an octogenarian [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Surgery, 2016
Video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy has gained acceptance for the treatment of small thymomas. Appropriately selected elderly patients may benefit as much as younger patients from this procedure. Specific benefits of minimally invasive surgery include shorter hospital stays, decreased complications and improved oncologic outcomes.

Robotic Resection With Hyperthermic Intrathoracic Perfusion Chemotherapy for Thymoma Recurrence

Case Reports in Oncological Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Thymoma recurrence with pleural dissemination remains a therapeutic challenge, often requiring multimodal treatment strategies. Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) has emerged as a promising approach for selected patients; however, reports using minimally invasive robotic platforms are limited.

The Use of Parabulbar and Sub‐Tenon Injections to Correct Isolated Resistant Diplopia in Patients With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis: A Long Road to Clinically Meaningful Success

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Changes in ocular alignment following parabulbar betamethasone in myasthenia gravis. Paired images obtained before and after parabulbar betamethasone (0.5 mL per eye; April 22 and May 6, 2025) demonstrate improved horizontal alignment and reduction of vertical deviations in primary gaze, upgaze, right gaze, and left gaze.

Surgical and oncological outcomes of thoracoscopic thymectomy for thymoma. [PDF]

J Vis Surg, 2017
Thymoma remains the most common primary anterior mediastinal neoplasm. Surgical resection remains central to the treatment of thymoma, with thoracoscopic thymectomy (TT) being increasingly performed. This present review article aimed to summarize current studies comparing TT and open thymectomy (OT).

Clinical Evaluation of T Component in the Ninth Edition TNM Classification of Thymic Epithelial Tumors

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 16, Issue 22, November 2025.
The ninth edition TNM system shows improved prognostic accuracy for RFS in thymic epithelial tumors, particularly in T1b versus T1a patients. The ninth edition outperforms the eighth in model fit and predictive power for both RFS and OS. ABSTRACT Objectives The optimal staging system for thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) remains controversial. This study

Clinical study of thoracoscopic assisted different surgical approaches for early thymoma: a meta-analysis

BMC Cancer
Objective The efficacy and safety of subxiphoid thoracoscopic thymectomy (SVATS) for early thymoma are unknown. The purposes of this meta-analysis were to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SVATS for early thymoma, to compare it with unilateral ...

Comparison of Subxiphoid and Lateral Intercostal Thoracoscopic Surgery for Anterior Mediastinal Tumors: A Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 16, Issue 22, November 2025.
In a matched study of 417 patients per group, LIATS for anterior mediastinal tumors resection had a significantly shorter operative time than SATS (75 ± 34 vs. 112 ± 43 min; p < 0.001), with no difference in postoperative pain. ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the short‐term clinical outcomes of subxiphoid approach thoracoscopic surgery (

Distribution of Ectopic Germinal Centers in Thymic Epithelial Tumors and Their Relationship With Thymic Involution

Cancer Science, Volume 116, Issue 11, Page 3209-3219, November 2025.
In this study, we demonstrate that ectopic germinal centers were observed in less involuted thymus of thymic epithelial tumors positive for antiacetylcholine receptor antibodies, associating their presence with higher antibody titers and supporting the need for at least a total thymectomy in younger patients. ABSTRACT Ectopic germinal centers (GCs) are

IgG4‐Related Sclerosing Mediastinitis Mimicking Thymoma: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of mediastinal IgG4‐RD and the importance of considering it in the differential diagnosis of thymic tumours, even when serum IgG4 is normal. ABSTRACT IgG4‐related disease (IgG4‐RD) rarely presents as an anterior mediastinal mass and may radiologically resemble thymic neoplasms.
