AB Thymic tumours are rare thoracic malignancies, that may be aggressive and difficult to treat. The pillars of the management include pathological review, consideration of differential diagnoses, staging and multidisciplinary discussion. Assessment of resectability is key to drive the treatment sequencing. Association with autoimmune diseases, especially myasthenia gravis, is observed, which impacts the oncological management. Networks are being built at the national and international levels. This article provides an overview of the most recent findings in the diagnosis, staging, histology, and management strategies of thymic tumours.Thymic tumours are rare and heterogeneous tumours. Management is based on multidisciplinary discussion and networking. https://bit.ly/3kYAZ7u
