An inaugural pericardiac tamponade performed on a 39 years old man, reveals a lympho-epithelial thymoma. The anatomic diagnosis first suggested by the radiography after evacuation of the effusion, is confirmed by the swab taken during the retroxiphoidal drainage. A 57 Gray cobaltotherapy was then performed. 18 months later, a satisfactory general state, allowed the patient to return to his professional activity. The evaluation of a tumourous residue by a tomodensitometry, is discussed at the light of a comparable observation confirming the efficiency of cobaltotherapy but, at the same time, its agressivity for such an important target volume. A previous surgical reduction, whenever possible, is then considered; an unthinkable eventuality in the reported observation.

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.
