Whether benign or malignant, they have tendency to invade locally, recur and metastasize A 56 year old male, known case of Myasthenia gravis, presented with complaints of difficulty in swallowing along with bilateral ptosis and progressive easy fatigability. He underwent thymectomy. On the basis of WHO classification, it was reported as cortical type– B2 Based on the Koga Masaoke staging system it was type IVa. It was reported as Invasive Thymoma( B2 type–cortical) with infiltration of lung parenchyma and pericardium.
