description Thymic tumors are rare mediastinal tumors that can present with a wide variety of symptoms. They can cause distant manifestations and are frequently associated with paraneoplastic syndromes.

Thrombosis of large abdominal veins is rare, especially without being associated with any other comorbidity or risk factors.
