title: [A case of thymus tumor lasting over a course of many years].
abstract: A case is presented of a patient with radiological changes in the lungs followed up for 12 years. Fine-needle biopsy of the tumour which appeared on the chest near the right nipple gave the results: metastatic papillary carcinoma. During the autopsy epithelioid thymoma was found infiltrating the mediastinum, right lung, intercostal fissure between the 3rd and 4th rib and subcutaneous tissue, and also a single metastasis in the liver was detected. Generalized tuberculosis was also found with predominance of changes within the abdominal organs.
