%X Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs), particularly type B2 thymomas, are rare neoplasms primarily found in the anterior mediastinum. The current therapeutic approach includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, but there is limited research on radiotherapy as a standalone treatment. This case report aims to elucidate the clinical outcomes of hypofractionated radiotherapy as a standalone treatment for locally advanced type B2 thymoma, offering insights into its potential efficacy and role in clinical practice.
