A 57-year-old man was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of an abnormal mediastinal shadow detected on chest X-ray film. Chest CT showed a solid mass and a cyst. Operation revealed a squamous cell carcinoma of the thymus adjacent to a thymic cyst. Histologic examination demonstrated the clear separation of the squamous cell carcinoma and the thymic cyst by interstitial tissue. Cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the thymus combined with thymic cyst are very rare.
一名57岁男性因胸部X光片发现纵隔阴影异常而被转诊至我院进一步评估。胸部CT显示一个实性肿块和一个囊肿。手术发现为胸腺鳞状细胞癌,紧邻胸腺囊肿。组织学检查显示鳞状细胞癌与胸腺囊肿被间质组织清晰分隔。胸腺鳞状细胞癌合并胸腺囊肿的病例非常罕见。
