2 Fig 1 A 48-year-old man, who was a nonsmoker, affected by B2-B3 thymoma with lung, pleural, and superior vena cava involvement, underwent right extra-pleuropneumonectomy with concomitant pericardial and diaphragmatic reconstruction. (A) Preoperative computed tomography scan. (B) Intraoperative findings show the L-shape molded prosthesis covering the diaphragm and pericardium (black asterisk) and the superior vena cava prosthesis (yellow asterisk). (C) The postoperative computed tomography scan at 6 months, with the red arrows indicating the diaphragmatic and pericardial reconstruction.
