| Abstract |
Malignant thymomas are rarely associated with bone metastasis and T-cell lymphocytosis. A 47-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital for ptosis. A diagnosis of malignant thymoma was made based on the thymectomy and pathological result. Peripheral T-cell lymphocytosis and bone metastasis were found later. T-cell lymphocytosis was relived after surgical and radiation therapy to the metastasis. Peripheral T-cell lymphocytosis is a rare paraneoplastic phenomenon associated with thymomas. This report is the first to describe an invasive thymoma with late bone metastasis accompanied with T-cell lymphocytosis. We should be aware of peripheral T-cell lymphocytosis in thymomas and it may contribute to a better understanding of the complex physiology and pathogenesis of thymoma. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 August 2016.
All research outputs
#20,337,788
of 22,883,326 outputs
Outputs from BMC Surgery
#883
of 1,323 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#299,792
of 343,547 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Surgery
#20
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,883,326 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,323 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 343,547 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
