The 2021 WHO Classification of Thoracic Tumours categorizes thymomas based on their cell structure, with benign types labeled as A, AB, B1, B2, and B3, while malignant forms are referred to as thymic carcinoma.
Although thymomas have the potential to be malignant, cases of them spreading outside the chest (extra-thoracic metastasis) are extremely rare, with only 39 such instances documented since 1999.
The report details a unique case of a type B1 thymoma with a single liver metastasis that occurred seven years after the initial tumor was removed, highlighting its relationship with the autoimmune condition myasthenia gravis and discussing the prognosis and classification of thymomas

This study investigates the presence of "spin," or biased reporting of findings, in the abstracts of systematic reviews related to breast cancer, highlighting its prevalence and potential effects on clinical decision-making.
Out of 11,717 articles screened, 581 consisted of studies meeting inclusion criteria, and 21% of those exhibited at least one type of spin, particularly in pharmacological and surgical interventions.
The findings indicate that systematic reviews on breast cancer could mislead readers due to distorted presentations of research outcomes, underscoring a need for improved reporting standards in this area.
