Thornwaldt's cyst is an uncommon nasopharyngeal lesion which develops from the remnant of the primitive notochord. A case report of a patient with a Thornwaldt's cyst and cervical adenitis is presented. Though computed tomography of the head and neck was unremarkable, magnetic resonance imaging of the nasopharynx revealed the Thornwaldt's cyst, suggesting that this modality may be more sensitive in detecting and evaluating cystic lesions of the nasopharynx. The differential diagnosis of cystic nasopharyngeal masses is discussed.
托恩瓦尔特囊肿是一种罕见的鼻咽部病变，由原始脊索的残余部分发展而来。本文报告一例患有托恩瓦尔特囊肿和颈部腺炎的患者。尽管头颈部计算机断层扫描无异常，但鼻咽部磁共振成像显示了托恩瓦尔特囊肿，提示这种检查方式在检测和评估鼻咽部囊性病变方面可能更敏感。文中还讨论了鼻咽部囊性肿物的鉴别诊断。
