Intrathymic bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare lesions, and the differential diagnosis with a banal thymic cyst or a solid tumor can be problematic. Thymic carcinomas arising within thymic cysts have also been reported. We report a case of radical thymectomy for a slowly growing small thymic cyst. The pathological finding revealed a bronchogenic cyst rather than a thymic neoplasm.
胸腺内支气管源性囊肿是极其罕见的病变,与普通胸腺囊肿或实体瘤进行鉴别诊断可能存在问题。也有胸腺囊肿内发生胸腺癌的报道。我们报告一例因缓慢生长的小胸腺囊肿而行根治性胸腺切除术的病例。病理检查结果显示为支气管源性囊肿而非胸腺肿瘤。
