A case of thymic carcinosarcoma associated with a spindle cell thymoma in a 71-year-old woman is reported. Histological and immunohistochemical studies of the carcinosarcoma showed two quite different components: the sarcomatous component included cells with myoid differentiation which stained for desmin and muscle specific actin, and some isolated cells which stained positively for low molecular weight cytokeratin, while the carcinomatous component, which formed less than 10% of the tumour, showed an epithelial phenotype, being positive for low and high molecular weight cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen. The thymoma cells showed epithelial markers, and a few cells were also positive for desmin and muscle specific actin. The rarity of this tumour and its possible histogenesis are discussed.

D013945 Thymoma A neoplasm originating from thymic tissue, usually benign, and frequently encapsulated. Although it is occasionally invasive, metastases are extremely rare. It consists of any type of thymic epithelial cell as well as lymphocytes that are usually abundant. Malignant lymphomas that involve the thymus, e.g., lymphosarcoma, Hodgkin's disease (previously termed granulomatous thymoma), should not be regarded as thymoma.
