    Author: Yokoi K, Miyazawa N, Mori K, Saito Y, Tominaga K, Imura G, Shimamura K, Hirotani T, Kiso I.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1992 Mar; 53(3):507-9. PubMed ID: 1540072.
    Abstract:
    We report an unusual case of invasive thymoma with intracaval growth into the right atrium. Computed tomography and venacavography demonstrated this manner of extension of thymoma. The tumor was completely removed by means of cardiopulmonary bypass after four courses of chemotherapy. Multidisciplinary treatment for invasive thymoma with this growth pattern is thought to be useful.
