ABSTRACT

The case report of a 50 year-old patient is presented who visited the Oncology department of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, due to a 4 months thymic tumor. A thymectomy and mediastinal lymphadenectomy were carried out , as well as a biopsy which indicated the presence of thymic carcinoma, type II lymphoepithelioma of high degree of malignancy, stage IV A; for such a reason it was decided to carry out a treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Due to the tumor persistence the second chemotherapy line was planned, but the patient died.
