BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified @entity704 and other @entity704 (types A, AB, and B) as different @entity5 . @entity1737 ( @entity1737 ) is an early sign of @entity704 and theoretically does not accompany @entity704 ; however, cases of @entity704 with @entity1737 have been reported. Whether @entity704 can accompany @entity1737 has yet to be established. METHODS: The medical records of @entity1 who underwent thymectomy for @entity1737 between 1990 and 2011 in a single hospital were reviewed. All cases with the diagnostic code of " @entity704 " or " @entity2195 " (old terminology) were selected. A pathologist re-reviewed the pathologic specimens using the new WHO criteria. The rate of @entity704 among these @entity1737 @entity1 was then calculated. RESULTS: A total of 81 @entity1 with @entity1737 had @entity6732 , 10 of whom had @entity704 or @entity2195 . Seven cases of well-differentiated @entity704 (type B3) were excluded, leaving three (3.7%) cases of @entity704 with @entity1737 . All three of these cases were @entity704 with a focal @entity957 component that was very small and well demarcated. In addition, two out of the three @entity5 were found to be at an early clinical stage. All of the cases survived without recurrence over follow-up periods of at least 5 years. CONCLUSIONS: @entity704 can occur during the early stages of @entity704 . The association of this condition with @entity1737 is not as rare as was previously thought. @entity704 accompanying @entity1737 had a predominant B3 @entity704 component with a focal @entity704 area ( @entity957 ).
