We report an unusual case of an invasive thymoma with a thrombus in the right atrium and describe the radiological findings consistent with the malignant nature of the thrombus. The thrombus showed significant enhancement on computerized tomography images similar to the tumoral mass. On magnetic resonance imaging, both the tumor and the thrombus have heterogeneously high signal intensities on T2-weighted images. On diffusion-weighted images they both exhibit high signal intensity and low apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values which support the malignant nature of the thrombus and the mass.
