title: Retrovesical soft-tissue metastasis of malignant thymoma: case report.
abstract: Malignant thymomas are usually confined to the mediastinum at the time of diagnosis and follow-up. Distant metastasis is distinctly rare. This is the first clinical case report of a thoracic malignant thymoma with distant soft-tissue metastasis that involves the retrovesical area to include the seminal vesicle.
