Malignant thymoma with renal metastases. Report of a case. 1978

S O Hietala, and T A Hazra, and J H Texter

A patient with metastasizing thymoma is presented. This case, as well as 31 previously reported cases in the literature, demonstrate that thymoma may give distant metastases and that the behavior of the tumors cannot be predicted on histologic grounds. The case reported here is the first case where angiography was performed.
