A 56-years old was referred for a CT guided biopsy for a prevascular space mass, with features suggestive of a thymic neoplasm.
Questions:

- If so, then which route?
The video discusses the case, the apprehension that physicians have to biopsy suspected thymic tumors and a recent article on this subject.
