The tumor was localized inside the thymus without outer infiltration. It weighed 145 g and measured 9 x 8 x 5 cm. The cut surface was cystic and spongy, partially with a solid focus. Pathological findings of the solid area was compatible with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thymus. The histogenesis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thymus was discussed.
