[Thymoma. Anatomo-clinical results apropos of 16 cases].
We report a clinicopathologic study in sixteen patients (11 male and five female) with thymomas. The fairly large proportion of children (3 cases: 12.5%) and significant number of advanced forms may at least partly explain the low survival rate (27% at five years) in our series. Advances in histologic studies of tumors have made possible the accurate diagnosis of thymomas, but the value of a histologic classification is still under debate. Conversely, pathologic and surgical classification is at present the best predictor of outcome.
