Abstract

Multilocular thymic cysts are rare benign acquired lesions of the neck and mediastinum. In children, multilocular thymic cysts are usually symptomatic after the age of 2 years and produce few symptoms. We report an unusual case of a multilocular thymic cyst diagnosed in a 3-month-old girl, causing severe respiratory failure. We believe that this unusual presentation has not been previously reported in the literature.

摘要

多房性胸腺囊肿是一种罕见的颈部和纵隔良性获得性病变。在儿童中，多房性胸腺囊肿通常在 2 岁后出现症状，且症状较少。我们报告了一例罕见的 3 个月大女婴多房性胸腺囊肿病例，该病例导致严重呼吸衰竭。我们认为，这种不常见的表现以前尚未在文献中报道过。
