Abstract
The current WHO classification of thymic epithelial neoplasms describes type A and type AB thymomas as behaving 'like benign neoplasms'. However, recent published data suggest that rare cases may show more aggressive behaviour. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of atypical cases, and to determine whether atypia is associated with more advanced disease.
