We reported an operated case of thymic cyst of the posterior mediastinum, whose common location in the mediastinum is anterior or antero-superior portion. A 58-year-old female was admitted because of the abnormal shadow on a routine chest radiograph. No particular symptoms and physical findings were noticed. The CT scanning and the MR Imaging of the thorax demonstrated the posterior mediastinal mass, which was removed by thoracotomy. The histopathological findings were most consistent with a diagnosis of thymic cyst. No cases of ectopic posterior mediastinal thymic cyst have been described in the recent literature.
我们报告了一例后纵隔胸腺囊肿的手术病例，胸腺囊肿在纵隔的常见位置是前侧或前上部分。一名58岁女性因常规胸部X线片上的异常阴影入院。未发现特殊症状和体征。胸部CT扫描和磁共振成像显示后纵隔肿块，通过开胸手术将其切除。组织病理学检查结果最符合胸腺囊肿的诊断。近期文献中尚未描述异位后纵隔胸腺囊肿的病例。
