Thymic tumors are uncommon, and malignant variants of such neoplasms are rare. Hence, the association of two siblings with aggressive tumors of the thymus is not likely to be a coincidence. We report on two brothers with thymic epithelial neoplasms, one being a thymic carcinoma and the other an invasive spindle cell thymoma with associated hypogammaglobulinemia.
