A 46-year old Asian woman with invasive thymoma had undergone thymectomy 10 years ago. Computed tomography demonstrated a wellcircumscribed mass in the left retroperitoneal space. The patient had not any symptom including myasthenia gravis. Because on the anterior mediastinum area shows no sign of tumor recurrence and the mass adjacent to the vertebral body, neurogenic tumor was suspected. Surgical resection was performed using a retroperitoneal approach, which revealed the tumor adhering neighboring diaphragm. The tumor was histologically diagnosed to be type B1 thymoma according to the World Health Organization classification. The retroperitoneal mass was an unusual local recurrence after thymectomy. The patients whose had under invasive thymectomy should be evaluated carefully when finding retroperitoneal mass during follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/cp.2015.746","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,17]],"date-time":"2015-06-17T13:23:34Z","timestamp":1434547414000},"page":"746","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Recurrent Thymoma in the Retroperitoneal Space: A Rare Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Jun","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qin-qing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying-ying","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cheng-de","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2893","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.128.4.2893","article-title":"Tumors of the mediastinum","volume":"128","author":"Duwe","year":"2005","journal-title":"Chest"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2186","DOI":"10.3760\/cma.j.issn.0366-6999.20130177","article-title":"Thymoma: current diagnosis and treatment","volume":"126","author":"Detterbeck","year":"2013","journal-title":"Chin Med J (Engl)"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1186\/1749-8090-6-89","article-title":"Ectopic cervical thymoma in a patient with myasthenia gravis","volume":"6","author":"Wu","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Cardiothorac Surg"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S318","DOI":"10.1097\/JTO.0b013e3181f20dab","article-title":"Evaluation and treatment of stage I and II thymoma","volume":"5","author":"Detterbeck","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Thorac Oncol"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"138","DOI":"10.1007\/s11604-012-0152-x","article-title":"Ectopic cervical thymoma located in the carotid triangle","volume":"31","author":"Tsukada","year":"2013","journal-title":"Jpn J Radiol"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"e64","article-title":"Pleural and transdiaphragmatic retroperitoneal metastasis developing two and half years after resection of invasive thymoma","volume":"49","author":"Debnath","year":"2008","journal-title":"Singapore Med J"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"bcr0920114737","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr.09.2011.4737","article-title":"A malignant retroperitoneal mass-a rare presentation of recurrent thymoma","volume":"pii","author":"van Geffen","year":"2011","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"}],"container-title":["Clinics and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.clinicsandpractice.org\/index.php\/cp\/article\/viewFile\/746\/365","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2039-7283\/5\/2\/746\/pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,28]],"date-time":"2025-05-28T18:06:40Z","timestamp":1748455600000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2039-7283\/5\/2\/746"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,17]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4]]}},"alternative-id":["cp.2015.746"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/cp.2015.746","relation":{},"ISSN":["2039-7283"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2039-7283"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,17]]}}}
