Abstract
Thymic carcinoma is rare, with resulting treatment of patients with extrathoracic metastasis being on a case-by-case basis. We describe the management of a woman in her 70s with an incidentally discovered cystic hepatic lesion with confirmation of a solitary extrathoracic metastasis from a synchronous primary thymic carcinoma. Following chemotherapy and staged resection of the metastasis and the primary tumour, the patient remained free of disease on radiological surveillance 6 months postoperatively.
