A case of thymic carcinoma with glandular differentiation arising in congenital thymic cyst in a 50-year-old male is reported. Neoplasia in congenital thymic cyst is a rare phenomenon and is seldom associated with glandular differentiation. It is important to differentiate these neoplasms from carcinomas of the lower respiratory tract and from thymic carcinomas with secondary cystic degeneration, in view of their relatively good prognosis and the therapeutic implications.
报告了一例50岁男性先天性胸腺囊肿中发生的具有腺性分化的胸腺癌。先天性胸腺囊肿中的肿瘤形成是一种罕见现象，很少伴有腺性分化。鉴于其相对较好的预后和治疗意义，将这些肿瘤与下呼吸道癌以及继发囊性变的胸腺癌区分开来很重要。
