We present a case of an 8-year-old girl with a painless swelling in her neck. An ultrasonogram revealed a cystic nodule with internal echoes, lying posterior to right lobe of thyroid, and MRI confirmed it. Thyroid scintigraphy did not show any uptake in the swelling. Intraoperatively, the lesion was densely adherent to the thyroid gland, hence a hemithyroidectomy was performed. Histopathology showed it to be an ectopic cervical thymic cyst with parathyroid tissue.
我们报告一例8岁女童颈部无痛性肿胀的病例。超声检查显示甲状腺右叶后方有一个有内部回声的囊性结节,MRI证实了这一点。甲状腺闪烁扫描显示肿胀部位无摄取。术中,病变与甲状腺紧密粘连,因此进行了甲状腺半叶切除术。组织病理学显示其为伴有甲状旁腺组织的异位颈部胸腺囊肿。
