Abstract
Cervical thymic cyst is uncommon and usually occurs in the first and second
decades. Cervical thymic cyst after the third decade is so rare that it is very
difficult to diagnose in spite of its typical location. We present a rare case
of cervical thymic cyst in the lower left - anterior of the neck in a
50-year-old woman. It showed well-defined, anechoic cyst on ultrasonography and
non-enhancing low attenuation mass on CT. A typical anatomic relationship was
noted between the mass and carotid sheath.
