As a radiographic finding, a shade in the left lung was observed that turned out to be a thymoma; while the blood test revealed hipogammaglobulinemia. It was decided to carry out conventional thymectomy by means of midline sternotomy, after which the patient had a favorable clinical course and was discharged from the hospital 10 days later.
