縱膈腔胸腺囊腫：病例報告

Case Report: Mediastinal Thymic Cyst

胸腺囊腫是一少見疾病。本文報告一27歲女性因左側乳房良性纖維腺瘤接受部份乳房切除而意外發現的前縱膈腔囊腫，經胸腔鏡手術後診斷為胸腺囊腫的病例。我們利用有限的文獻，對胸腺囊腫作一詳細介紹及討論。本患者在術後的門診追蹤並無復發現象。

This report describes an uncommon case of mediastinal thymic cyst, which was incidentally found in an asymptomatic young woman during her previous admission. Since the nature of her lesion was unknown, it was surgically removed, and mediastinal thymic cyst was diagnosed on the basis of pathologic findings. This report describes the course of treatment and outcome. The description of mediastinal thymic cyst in the literature is very limited. Our experience in the diagnosis and management of this case adds to this description.
