Abstract
Among the many sites of ectopic thymoma development, the middle mediastinum is the rarest in the English language literature we found only two case reports. We present a case of 69-year-old woman with slow-growing, ectopic middle mediastinum thymoma of an very unusual histological type, neither classified in the Müller-Hermelink nor the World Health Organization (WHO) classification.
