Abstract

We present a debulking procedure for the removal of a stage IVA thymoma in a patient with myasthenia gravis (MG). This included thymectomy to remove the primary thymoma, resection of an anterior paracardial mass, a posterior pleural mass, partial pleurectomy, resection of phrenic nerve and wedge excisions of the right upper, middle and lower lobes.

Keywords: Debulking; Masoaka classification; Myasthenia gravis; Surgery; Thymoma.
