[Malignant thymoma and intestinal metastasis. Report of a case and review of the literature].
The authors report two cases of malignant thymoma, lymphoepithelial type, who metastatized quickly by hematogenous route, one of them to the small bowel. This is a rare evolution, whose incidence is discussed. Vascular invasions are described in the primitive tumor, which seem to have, when seen, a real importance to establish prognosis.
