  • Title: Spontaneous hemorrhage of a thymic cyst in an adult: report of a case.
    Author: Saito Y, Murai K, Kawai Y, Takahashi N, Ikeya T, Hoshi E, Kawabata Y.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2010 Oct; 40(10):958-62. PubMed ID: 20872200.
    Abstract:
    Mediastinal cysts account for about 19% of all mediastinal masses, and thymic cysts represent only about 1.5% of anterior mediastinal masses. Thymic cysts do not usually cause symptoms and are often found incidentally on routine chest radiography. We report the case of a thymic cyst that hemorrhaged into the mediastinum and the right pleural cavity, causing chest pain. The patient, a 55-year-old man, underwent emergency surgical resection and recovered uneventfully.
