The cumulative incidence function of death due to extrathymic malignancies or recurrence was calculated, with other causes of death as competing risks. Relevant risk factors associated with extrathymic malignancy-related deaths in patients with thymoma were evaluated using the Fine and Gray model.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In total, 2701 patients were eligible for the analysis (thymoma, 2374; thymic carcinoma, 273; thymic neuroendocrine tumour, 54). The median follow-up period was 4.6\u2009years. The cumulative incidence function of death due to extrathymic malignancies at 10\u2009years was 2.2% (3.2% due to recurrence) in patients with thymoma, 1.6% (38.6% due to recurrence) in patients with thymic carcinoma and 0% (36.6% due to recurrence) in patients with thymic neuroendocrine tumour. In the multivariable analysis, age (every 10\u2009years) at thymectomy [hazard ratio (HR) 2.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.53\u20133.14; P\u2009&lt;\u20090.001], male gender (HR 2.62, 95% CI 1.19\u20135.77; P\u2009=\u20090.017) and previous malignancies (HR 3.09, 95% CI 1.18\u20138.11; P\u2009=\u20090.022) were significant factors for death due to extrathymic malignancies after thymectomy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Continued management and early detection of extrathymic malignancies may improve survival of patients with thymoma who are male, of advanced age, or have previous malignancies.
