A patient who had received irradiation for inoperable invasive thymoma was treated with cis‐platinum after mediastinal and endothoracic recurrence two years from diagnosis. A quick and long‐lasting response was observed, which is still present. Systematic phase II trials with cis‐platinum in invasive thymoma are suggested.
