We report the case of a female patient, 76 years old, with a cough for six months. Laboratory tests were normal. Chest X-ray revealed enlargement of the mediastinum in the middle third of the thorax. Later, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the thorax were performed, characterizing a mass located in the anterior mediastinum, involving the ascending aorta and compressing the superior vena cava. Histological diagnosis after biopsy and partial resection of the lesion was a thymic squamous cell carcinoma.
