Abstract

This is a case of thymic carcinoma-a rare and highly aggressive type of tumor found in the anterior mediastinum. During a routine chest X-ray, a 66-yr-old male pilot was found to have a mediastinal mass. After diagnosis, he underwent chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy and 1 yr after completion of these therapies he was re-issued a third-class medical certificate to fly.
