We report two rare cases of thymus gland found behind the left brachiocephalic vein, in young women undergoing thymectomy for myasthenia gravis. Our observations are included among the thymic anatomical variants. After a review of the literature on the subject, we discuss both the diagnostic role of new radiological techniques (CT, NRM) and the choice of surgical approach to these variants.
我们报告了两例罕见病例，在因重症肌无力接受胸腺切除术的年轻女性中，发现胸腺位于左头臂静脉后方。我们的观察结果被纳入胸腺解剖变异之中。在回顾了关于该主题的文献后，我们讨论了新的放射学技术（CT、NRM）的诊断作用以及针对这些变异的手术方法选择。
