A case of a 75-year-old woman with thymic undifferentiated carcinoma was reported. Thymic carcinoma infiltrated the right pleura, epicardium, and superior vena cava. Total thymectomy with resection of the right pleura, epicardium, and superior vena cava was performed. The superior vena cava was reconstructed with a ringed Goretex. The patient received the chemotherapy such as CDDP, VDS and MMC, and also received radiation therapy (total 5,000 rad). The postoperative clinical course was uneventful. The definition and therapy of thymic carcinoma is unclear. We think that complete resection of carcinoma is necessary even if cancer infiltrates the superior vena cava.
