Abstract
Thymic MALT lymphoma is a rare pathology. There is a high correlation with autoimmune diseases, like Sjögren's syndrome. Its appearance is that of an anterior mediastinal mass with a cystic component. The treatment is not well codified and is most often based on surgical resection, eventually followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. As far as the authors know, this is the second case of thymic MALT lymphoma treated by exclusive chemotherapy.
