[Ovarian metastasis of a thymoma].
Report about the rare occurrence of ovarian metastases from a thymoma. Exstirpation of a lymphoepithelial thymoma was performed in a female patient at the age of twenty. 10 months afterwards a large tumour in the abdomen was the cause for a laparotomy. The situs showed a gigantic ovarian tumour (size 20 X 20 X 10 cm). The histological diagnosis was a metastatic tumour from the lymphoepithelial thymoma. Salpingo-Oophorectomy, radiotherapy and immunosuppressive therapy with glucocorticoids were used.
