A RARE CASE OF PERIHILAR THYMOMA A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Thymoma is a common primary neoplasm of the anterior mediastinum. However, Ectopic Thymoma can arise in other locations, including the neck, the posterior mediastinum, the lung, base of the skull and the pleural cavity. There are less than ten previous case reports of a Thymoma located in the middle mediastinum. We report a case of a perihilar thymoma that was seen in an 30 year old patient who was also congenitally deaf and mute.
