    Abstract:
    Thymic carcinoid tumour associated with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma is very rare. We present a case of synchronous lung cancer and mediastinal tumour treated with simultaneous video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) sleeve lobectomy and thymectomy. A 67-year old man presented with cough and bloody sputum. Chest computed tomography showed an anterior mediastinal mass with a right hilar nodule. A right upper sleeve lobectomy and a thymectomy were performed via a VATS approach. Thymic carcinoid tumour associated with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed, and the patient received adjuvant radiochemotherapy.
