Primary Intrapulmonary Thymoma Appearing as a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule: The "Master of Disguise" of Lung Tumors?

We present a case of PIT in an asymptomatic 74-year-old woman in whom pulmonary nodules were found on pulmonary angiography performed for an episode of pulmonary embolism. She underwent wedge resection and the pathology report revealed a PIT. We also summarize this patient's clinicopathological features and discuss the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of PIT.
