Abstract
A case of a thymic cyst is reported, and the literature from 1952 to 1998 was reviewed. A 19-year-old female was found to have a frontal neck mass. MRI demonstrated a cystic mass laterally to the right lobe of the thyroid gland, and pharyngography did not show a pyrif orm sinus fistula. At surgery, the cyst was found to be connected to the thymus, and was diagnosed pathologically as a cervical thymic cyst. Cervical thymic cysts are rare and clinically asymptomatic. The distributions of the age and sex of the patients are different between Japanese and Caucasian at this time.
