Abstrakt: A 52-year-old woman with a history of myasthenia presented with an anterior mediastinal mass and three other apparent pleural-based lesions on the side of the mediastinal lesion. These masses were confirmed by computed tomography and believed to represent distant intrathoracic implants from the presumed mediastinal thymoma. This knowledge directed proper surgical approach and clinical management in this patient, now free of disease four years later.
