Abstract
In contrast to thymomas, PNS is extremely rare in patients with thymic carcinoma. Previous reports have shown that neurological symptoms, similar to opsoclonus or cerebellar ataxia, deteriorated in cases of thymic carcinoma that could not be controlled. The present report indicates that early diagnosis and total removal of the rare neoplasm may increase the possibility of neurological recovery.
