Although thymic lesions are relatively common causes of anterior mediastinal masses, they can rarely arise in other mediastinal compartments, as it is well recognized that thymic tissue can lie in ectopic intrathoracic locations. A thymic mass within the middle mediastinum has rarely been reported, with only a single case of a thymic cyst described and no reports of a middle mediastinal thymoma. We report 2 thymic masses (1 thymoma and 1 thymic cyst) found to arise in the middle mediastinum.
尽管胸腺病变是前纵隔肿物相对常见的病因，但它们很少起源于其他纵隔间隙，因为人们早已认识到胸腺组织可位于胸腔内的异位位置。纵隔中部的胸腺肿物鲜有报道，仅有1例胸腺囊肿的描述，且无纵隔中部胸腺瘤的报道。我们报告了2例发现起源于纵隔中部的胸腺肿物（1例胸腺瘤和1例胸腺囊肿）。
