Various types of tumors (either benign or malignant) can be found in mediastinum. Early diagnosis and treatment may help to improve survival and quality if life in these patients. Compared to direct mediastinoscopy, used for obtaining a specimen for histological analysis in previous decades, modern imaging methods, specifically the CT navigated biopsy, represent an effective and less invasive approach to the diagnosis. In our publication, we present a patient with thymoma, rather rare type of anterior mediastinum tumor.

Keywords: CT navigated biopsy, incidentaloma, mediastinum, thymoma.
