A rare case of intrathymic epidermoid cyst.

Folia Medica 2021 April 31
Thymic cysts are a rare abnormality accounting for 1%-3% of all mediastinal masses. In most cases, they are asymptomatic and localized in the anterior mediastinum. Despite their benign nature, the presence of a mass is an indication for surgery to obtain a histological conclusion and reliably exclude an oncological process. Epidermoid cysts are rare and only a few cases are described in the literature. In our case report, we present a rare case of examination and treatment of a patient with a large anterior mediastinum mass, which, according to the results of histology, was an epidermoid cyst of the thymus.
