Clear cell carcinoma originating from ectopic thymus.

Abstract
Cancer of the mediastinum is known to be a relatively rare disease, and clear cell carcinoma in the mediastinum is especially rare. Ectopic thymus is not uncommon, but clear cell carcinoma originating from ectopic thymus has never been reported. We report a case of clear cell carcinoma originating from ectopic thymus in which there was a good response to steroid-supplemented chemoradiotherapy.
