Abstract This report describes a 58-year-old woman with gastric adenocarcinoma and liver metastases, who survives for more than 18 years after diagnosis. At diagnosis and first surgery, a moderately differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma with subserosal invasion was detected, along with 2 regional lymph node metastases and 2 liver metastases. She underwent gastrectomy and regional lymph node dissection but did not undergo liver operation then. After gastrectomy, she received adjuvant chemotherapy for 1 month but discontinued it due to severe diarrhea. Another metastasis in another area of the liver was detected, for which she underwent excision of the right lobe of the liver (subsegments 5, 6, and 7) about 30 months later. No signs of recurrence have been detected for 18 years (as of March 2012). This patient represents a rare case of long-term survival of gastric adenocarcinoma without recurrence after surgical treatment, despite multiple, synchronous, liver and regional lymph node metastases.

Thymic Tumors

Thymic tumors are the most common primary neoplasms of the anterior mediastinum, although, when compared with the entire thoracic malignancies, they are still rare. Few studies addressed the questions about lymph node involvement pattern in thymic neoplasms, about which subgroup of patients would be appropriate candidates for lymph node dissection or about the extent of lymphadenectomy or which lymph nodes should be harvested. The aim of this review is to collect evidence from the literature to help physicians in designing the best surgical procedure when dealing with thymic malignancies. A literature review was performed through PubMed and Scopus in May 2021 to identify any study published in the last 20 years evaluating the frequency and the extent of lymph node dissection for thymic tumors, its impact on prognosis and on postoperative management. Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review, with a total of 9452 patients with thymic cancers; lymph node metastases were found in 976 (10.3%) patients in total. The current literature is heterogeneous in the classification and reporting of lymph node metastases in thymic carcinoma, and data are hardly comparable. Surgical treatment should be guided by the few literature-based pieces of evidence and by the experience of the physicians.
