Intrathyroidal lymphoepithelial cysts are rare, and only 15 such cases have been reported. Although sonography has been performed in some cases, the findings have not been discussed previously. Despite its rarity, the sonographic appearances of this lesion are similar to those of other commonly encountered congenital cystic lesions in the head and neck, such as thyroglossal duct cysts and second branchial cleft cysts, and this may provide a clue to its diagnosis. We describe the sonographic appearances of intrathyroidal lymphoepithelial cysts.
甲状腺内淋巴上皮囊肿较为罕见,此前仅有15例相关病例报道。虽然部分病例已进行超声检查,但相关检查结果此前尚未见讨论。尽管该病变罕见,但其超声表现与头颈部其他常见的先天性囊性病变,如甲状舌管囊肿和第二鳃裂囊肿相似,这可能为其诊断提供线索。我们描述了甲状腺内淋巴上皮囊肿的超声表现。
