 note = {Background. Thymic cancer is an uncommon neoplasm. In particular, thymic non-papillary adenocarcinoma is extremely rare. Case. A 61-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of an anterior mediastinal tumor, which was found by coronary artery computed tomography for examination of abnormal electrocardiogram findings. The tumor was suspected to be thymoma or thymic cancer. She underwent endoscopic thymectomy using an automatic sternal lifting system. Histopathological findings showed thymic non-papillary adenocarcinoma, pT2N1M0, stage III, and Masaoka stage IVb. She underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. At 5 months after the surgery, chest CT revealed metastasis of the parasternal lymph node, and she underwent thoracoscopic lymph node resection. She is in good health without any tumor recurrence at 8 months after the initial surgery. Conclusion. We reported a case of thymic non-papillary adenocarcinoma of the anterior mediastinum. © 2012 The Japan Lung Cancer Society.},
