[An unusual mediastinal malignant tumor: thymic carcinoma].
Thymic carcinoma is a relatively rare neoplasm. Current incidence is difficult to assess. There is some controversy regarding its definition and its diagnostic criteria. We report a case of epidermoid carcinoma in a 48-year-old man located in the thymus area of the anterior mediastinum. Clinicopathological features and prognosis are reviewed.
