Abstract

The thymic cysts are uncommon lessions. The mediastinal thymic cysts are frequently seen in anterior mediastinum. Anterior tracheal thymic cysts can be infrequently identified. Case: The 70 years old woman was administrated to another hospital with dyspnea complain. After the analysis of the patient, 40*38 mm dimension cysts was detected at anterior tracheal area. The patient went through surgery using cervical incision and 4 cm dimension cystic lession is totally excised from anterior trachea. The pathological examination was reported as thymic cysts. We discussed the thymic cyst case showing uncommon settlement in the context of literature.

Özet

Mediastinal timik kistler nadir olarak görülen lezyonlardır. Mediastinal timik kistler sıklıkla anterior mediastende yer almaktadır. Anterior trakeal timik kistler ise oldukça nadir olarak tanımlanmıştır. Olgu: 70 yaş kadın hasta nefes darlığı şikayeti ile hastaneye başvurmuştur. Hastanın yapılan tetkiklerinde anterior trakeal alanda yerleşimli yaklaşık 40x38mm boyutlarında kistik lezyon saptanmıştır. Hasta servikal kesi ile operasyona alınmıştır. Trakeanın anteriorunda yaklaşık 4 cm’lik kistik lezyon total olarak eksize edilmiştir. Hastanın patolojisi timik kist olarak raporlanmıştır. Bizde nadir yerleşim gösteren bu timik kist olgusunu literatür eşliğinde değerlendirdik.
