title: [Pleural involvements in thymoma. Apropos of 5 cases and review of the literature].
abstract: The authors report five cases of pleural involvement in patients with thymoma. In 3 cases these sites were not directly related to the primary and in 1 case they constituted the first event in the disease. CT and MRI allow effective assessment of these pleural lesions ... provided this phenomenon, reported in the literature, is well known by the radiologist.
