Carcinoma of Thymus

El carcinoma de timo es un tumor maligno muy raro que tiene un pronóstico desfavorable. El cuadro clínico de presentación es muy variado, no se ha determinado una modalidad definitiva de tratamiento para este padecimiento. En el presente estudio se reporta un caso que fue ingresado en el Hospital General de Trinidad por disnea y pérdida de peso. Se le realizaron una serie de complementarios, dentro de ellos un RX de tórax AP; este, junto al cuadro clínico, suscitó la duda sobre un Carcinoma de Timo, y fue remitido para el Hospital Provincial de Santa Clara donde se confirma el diagnóstico y se comienza el tratamiento con quimioterapia. Aunque la recurrencia y la metástasis son frecuentes, esta terapia puede ser de ayuda para la supervivencia a largo plazo de un paciente.
