Abstract
An 11-year-old boy with Lowe syndrome developed secondary sexual
characteristics within a few weeks, suggestive of precocious puberty.
His blood tests were positive for serum-human chorionic gonadotropin,
and imaging revealed a right thymic lobe mass containing small cystic
lesions. A germ cell tumor with malignant potential was suspected. Thus,
we performed an extended thymectomy with mediastinal lymph node
dissection and confirmed germinoma of the right thymic lobe without
lymph node metastasis; the patient underwent four courses of
chemotherapy. Follow-up evaluations indicated no recurrence. Thus, we
present a highly rare case report of thymic germinoma complicated by
Lowe syndrome.
