Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Head and Neck Pathology

Background:

  • Cervical thymic cysts are uncommon benign lesions.
  • Differential diagnosis of pediatric neck masses is complex.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old boy presented with a painless, growing right neck mass.
  • The initial clinical diagnosis was a branchial cleft cyst.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision was performed for the neck mass.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a thymic cyst.

Implications:

  • Thymic cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis of pediatric neck masses.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management of neck lesions in children.
