    Abstract:
    This paper reports a case of an histological non aggressive thymoma with myasthenic symptoms as the first clinical manifestation. Three years after its complete surgical resection liver metastases appeared without evidence of intrathoracic neoplastic disease. The extrathoracic metastases are uncommon and the thymomatous myasthenia gravis is present in 25 to 50% of cases. We reviewed the literature and analyzed its clinical pathological characteristics and therapeutics approach.
