We report a case of successful salvage surgery for invasive thymoma initially judged to be unresectable that did not respond to sequential chemoradiotherapy. The patient underwent en bloc resection of the tumor, superior vena cava, upper portion of the right atrium (RA) and intracardiac neoplastic thrombus with the aid of a cardiopulmonary bypass without cardiac arrest. The patient is disease free 8.5 years after radical thymectomy and subsequent resection of 2 second primary lung adenocarcinomas.

“…In addition, completely resected stage III disease requiring en bloc resection of superior vena cava and/or innominate vein have achieved 5-and 10-year survival rates of 94% [19]. Furthermore, successful resections of thymoma invading the right atrium and thymoma invading the right ventricular outflow tract have been reported [24,25]. Although videoassisted resections of completely encapsulated thymoma have been reported with acceptable morbidity, mortality and shortand long-term results are not yet known [26].…”

The vast majority of thymic lesions are thymoma [1]. Thymoma is relatively unique among tumors in that the prognosis appears to be more closely related to the invasive characteristics seen at operation rather than histological appearance. Indeed, the degree of encapsulation and invasion of adjacent tissues define malignancy for these tumors rather than the histologic appearance of the tumor cells [2]. Current treatment of thymoma is often multidisciplinary in nature, and has evolved based upon a growing number of studies to date. These studies have looked at various outcomes based upon associated patient syndromes, tumor histology, and tumor staging, as well as various surgical, radiotherapeutic, chemotherapeutic, and multimodality trials. These studies form the basis of this review.

CONTEXT: Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract due to metastatic disease is rare. Clinical recognition of cardiac metastatic tumors is rare and continues to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a patient who had severe respiratory insufficiency and whose clinical examinations revealed a giant tumor mass extending from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic options. CONCLUSION: In patients presenting with acute right heart failure, right ventricular masses should be kept in mind. Transthoracic echocardiography appears to be the most easily available, noninvasive, costeffective and useful technique in making the differential diagnosis. RESUMO CONTEXTO:A obstrução da via de saída do ventrículo direito devido a doença metastática é rara. O reconhecimento clínico de tumores cardíacos metastáticos é raro e continua a apresentar um desafio diagnóstico e terapêutico. RELATO DO CASO: Apresentamos o caso de um paciente com insuficiência respiratória grave e cujos exames clínicos revelaram massa de tumor gigante, estendendo-se desde o ventrículo direito até a artéria pulmonar. Discutimos as opções diagnósticas e terapêuticas. CONCLUSÃO: Em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca direita aguda, massas do ventrículo direito devem ser mantidas em mente. Ecocardiografia transtorácica parece ser a técnica mais facilmente disponível, não invasiva, custo-efetiva e útil no diagnóstico diferencial. I MD. Associate Professor,
