[Thymic carcinoma with vascular resection].

Thymic carcinomas are rare neplasm. The standard treatment for advanced thymic carcinoma has not yet been established, and the prognosis is poor. We report 3 cases of thymic carcinoma involving major vessely. Case 1:The aortic arch and the innominate vein were involved. Case 2:The left brachiocephalic vein was involved. Case 3:Tumor invaded to superior vena cava. Complete resection of the tumor was possible with vascular reconstruction.
