Thymic Cyst in Chest X ray & CT Scan

Thymic Cyst in Chest X-ray & CT Scan The thymic cyst is usually a well-circumscribed homogeneous lesion, located near the thymic bed. It has round, oval or saccular morphology, and is frequently purely cystic, with no soft tissue components or internal septa. For thymic cysts, the ICD-10 code is E32.8, which falls under "Other diseases of thymus". Overall, common symptoms caused by thymic cysts included cough (10.2%), followed by dyspnea (5.6%), retrosternal chest pain (5.6%), and fever (1.9%). Common Location of thymic cyst: Thymic cysts are usually found in the anterior mediastinum, a region in the chest. Thymic cyst treatment: The preferred treatment for thymic cysts is surgical excision, aiming for complete removal of the cyst to prevent complications and ensure a definitive diagnosis. Thymic cyst removal, or cystectomy, is typically performed surgically, either through open or minimally invasive techniques like thoracoscopy, and is the preferred treatment for these benign, slow-growing masses. Thymic cyst vs thymoma: Thymic cysts are benign, fluid-filled sacs within the thymus, while thymomas are tumors arising from the thymic epithelial cells, which can be benign or malignant. Thymomas are more common than thymic cysts, and both can cause similar symptoms, making differentiation important for proper diagnosis and treatment. Credit: https://radiopaedia.org/cases/thymic-...
