摘要
Two cases of invasive thymoma with intracaval and intracardiac extension into the right atrium are reported. Radical excisions and reconstructions of the superior vena cava (SVC) requiring extracorporeal circulation were performed. Invasive thymoma with this growth pattern is extremely rare, and patients with SVC obstruction should be evaluated for the resection of tumors and reconstruction of the SVC.
