Thymic carcinoma, a rare aggressive tumor, necessitates multidisciplinary approaches for optimal prognosis. The role of surgical interventions in stage IVb thymic carcinoma, as classified by the TNM and Masaoka-Koga staging systems, remains controversial; although some patients present with resectable disease, others do not. We report a case with supraclavicular metastasis and sternal invasion.
