title: Primary pulmonary thymoma.
abstract: Primary thymomas arising in an intrapulmonary location without an associated mediastinal component are rare entities. The origin of thymomas in this unusual location remains unknown. Knowledge of the natural history and the prognosis of these tumors is also limited because of their rarity.
