| Abstract: | The cases of 8 patients with cyst of the thymus are reviewed. The patients were all asymptomatic. Pathological features are described that emphasize the spectrum of findings depending on the degree of cyst degeneration. A case of pericardial extension of a thymic cyst, thought to represent rupture of an anterior mediastinal thymic cyst into the pericardium, is described. |
