Spatial Distribution Patterns of Pleural Dissemination in Patients With Thymoma and Survival Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Thymoma is a common malignancy with low incidence, and pleural metastases are common pattern of recurrence. It is necessary that the spatial location of pleural metastatic lesions be analyzed. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution patterns of pleural dissemination in patients with thymoma and evaluate the variables that influence the survival of pleural metastasis in this population. Methods: This retrospective study investigated hospital admissions of patients diagnosed with pleural metastasis from thymoma. The spatial distribution pattern and visualization of the pleural metastases were analyzed after establishing a coordinate system. We further analyzed the survival and influencing factors in patients with pleural metastases from thymoma. Resu
