Abstract
Primary thymomas arising in an intrapulmonary location without an asso ciated mediastinal component are rare entities. The origin of thymomas in this unusual location remains unknown. Knowledge of the natural hi story and the prognosis of these tumors is also limited because of the ir rarity. (C) 1997 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
