The thymic cysts are benign tumours of the thymo-pharyngeal canal, usually located in the cervico-mediastinal region. The authors report the case of a large thymic cyst with an ectopic right paracardiac location compressing the right heart chambers. It was a chance finding on chest X-ray of an asymptomatic 21 year old man. Though suggestive of a pericardial cyst in view of its position, curative surgical ablation allowed confirmation of the diagnosis at anatomo-pathological examination.
胸腺囊肿是胸腺咽管的良性肿瘤，通常位于颈纵隔区域。作者报告了一例巨大胸腺囊肿病例，其位于心旁右侧异位，压迫右心腔。这是在一名21岁无症状男性的胸部X光检查中偶然发现的。尽管鉴于其位置提示为心包囊肿，但根治性手术切除使解剖病理学检查得以确诊。
