Résumé :

A case of thymoma associated with pregnancy is reported. This association is extremely rare (8 described cases) and the clinical outcome is most frequently unfavorable for the mother. The diagnosis was made by a standard chest X-ray performed routinely post-partum. Sixteen months after total surgical extirpation of the tumor and adjunctive radiotherapy the patient is still in complete remission. The presented case is discussed with reference to a review of the literature.
