For invasive thymoma, the optimal treatment method remains controversial. We present the case of a woman with a thymoma with pleural and pericardial dissemination who received multimodality therapy. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Rocio Carrera-Ceron, Juan Jacinto-Tinajero, Luis Marcelo Argote Greene, Patricio Santillán DohertyNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Thoracic Surgery PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Poor pulmonary function tests have been shown to be predictors of respiratory complications after lung resection via thoracotomy. Expanding surgical options to lung cancer patients with marginal pulmonary function must be balanced with maintaining patient safety. We sought to determine the role of forced expired volume in one second (FEV1), diffusion capacity to carbon monoxide (DLCO), arterial blood gas (ABG) partial pressures of carbon dioxide and of oxygen (PaCO2, PaO2), smoking status, and smoking history in predicting respiratory complications after robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy. ⋯ Eric Toloza: Other: Honoraria for proctoring & observation site The following authors have nothing to disclose: Kathryn Rodriguez, Frank Velez-Cubian, Wei Wei Zhang, Tawee Tanvetyanon, Matthew Thau, Carla Moodie, Joseph Garrett, Jacques-Pierre Fontaine, Lary RobinsonNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
