Abstract
In a case of thymoma associated with myasthenia gravis, symptoms of relapse appeared 14 years after thymectomy. Tumour tissue from repeat resection showed the same histologic pattern and aneuploidy as in the original specimen. The case illustrates the necessity of wide surgical exposure to permit maximal thymectomy, though recurrence remains possible.
