The diagnosis of a thymic cyst of the neck must be considered particularly in a male child with a mass that is lateral, soft, asymptomatic, and closely related to the carotid sheath. Although rare in the literature, this entity is probably more common than usually appreciated.

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1977
During a period of 20 years, 19 patients with thymomas and 5 with thymic cysts were surgically treated at this clinic. Excluding one operative death, none of these patients had died of causes related to the tumour 7.4 years (average) after operation. Two patients had died of unrelated causes, and in one case a recurrent mediastinal tumour was observed ...

Thymic cysts are rare embryonic remnants along the course of thymic migration in the neck or the anterior mediastinum which may result in cervical masses in children, often misdiagnosed. We present the experience gained by three European tertiary care medical centers in the treatment of thymic cysts as well as the current data on the embryology ...

Abstract A brief review of the few reported cases of thymic cysts of the neck is given; a case is reported; the embryology of the thymus and its possible role in the development of aberrant thymic tissue are presented. The value of considering this entity in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the neck is reaffirmed.

Four cases of cervical thymic cyst are described. Clinical and microscopic appearances are reviewed, with reference to its distinction from branchial cyst. The use of monoclonal antibodies to cytokeratin as a histologic aid to diagnosis is discussed.

Thymic cysts are considered uncommon lesions in the differential diagnosis of pediatric neck masses. They usually present in the 1st decade after the age of 2 years, possibly because the thymus attains its greatest development before puberty. They may be found anywhere along the normal descent route of the thymus gland from the mandible to the sternal ...

A review of cervical thymus cysts and a case report are presented. This benign lesion was, as in most cases previously reported, situated laterally on the neck, deep to the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and thus simulating a common branchial cyst preoperative.y.

Abstract Thymic cysts of the neck are so rare that none of those reported as yet has been preoperatively diagnosed [5]. On the other hand, the recently proven role of the thymus in the defence mechanism of the organism calls for respect to manipulations regarding this organ. These facts justify reports of new cases that would make clinicians aware of

SUMMARY Thymic cyst should be suspected when a sharply defined mass is seen far anteriorly in the mediastinum, particularly in relation to the great vessels and base of the heart. Calcification in the margin, when present, supports the diagnosis, as does a palpable extension in the neck. Treatment is surgical resection.

Thymic cysts are rare lesions of the anterior mediastinum or neck. The majority are asymptomatic, and the remainder are associated mainly with symptoms of dysphagia or dyspnea. Diagnosis is difficult before surgery. Cervical thymic cysts are relatively rare; age at presentation ranges from the neonatal period to adulthood, and the most frequent ...
