Özet

Thymoma is a very rare tumor with a rate of 1.7 per million. Thymoma often occurs between the ages of 35-70. Thymoma is frequently located in the anterior mediastinum. Patients with thymoma often do not cause symptoms clinically. Depending on the localization of the tumor, pain may present with cough, hoarseness, shortness of breath, superior vena cava syndrome and weight loss. The coexistence of nasopharyngeal, breast, colon and hepatocellular cancer can be seen in patients with thymomas. In this article, we present our case with thymoma and colon cancer association with the literature.
