[Ileum and brain, unusual metastatic sites for a thymoma].

CONCLUSIONS: Extra-thoracic metastases of thymoma are exceptional but their existence should not be overlooked. Their management is not standardised because of lack of data in the literature. Though surgical excision in oligo-metastatic subjects is a frequently reported therapeutic option, a radiotherapeutic approach, particularly in cerebral situations, could be a credible alternative.
