Left pulmonary artery obstruction due to a large congenital thymic cyst: A rare cause of pulmonary stenosis
شماره ركورد

Abstract
Thymic cysts occur relatively rarely and account for only about 3% of all anterior mediastinal masses. They may be either congenital or acquired. They usually present in the first decade after the age of 2 years, possibly because the thymus attains its greatest development before puberty. Mediastinal thymic cysts are usually asymptomatic and are incidentally found on routine chest roentgenograms. They may rarely cause symptoms of vascular obstruction. This study presents an unusual case of a unilocular thymic cyst that caused pulmonary artery obstruction, cyst imaging and surgical treatment.
