| Core Tip |
Thymic epithelial carcinomas are rare and have poor prognosis. The overall 5-year survival rate for patients with thymic carcinoma is about 30%–50%. We present the case of a 45-year-old Caucasian male who presented with hepatalgia and a cervical mass, and was diagnosed with programmed death-ligand 1-negative metastatic thymic carcinoma. The patient underwent pretreatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, after which pembrolizumab was administered as salvage therapy and complete metabolic response was achieved. |
