Two pediatric cases of asymptomatic cervical thymic cysts were successfully treated. Diagnosis involved imaging and confirmation via surgical excision and histology, aligning with existing literature.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Head and Neck Pathology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Cervical thymic cysts are rare congenital anomalies.
  • They typically present as asymptomatic neck masses in children.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric patients, a 7-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl, presented with asymptomatic cervical masses.
  • Symptoms persisted for one month prior to surgical intervention.
  • Preoperative imaging included X-ray, Ultrasound, CT scan, and Iodine-131 scan.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis of cervical thymic cysts in both cases.
  • Histological examination revealed characteristics consistent with previously reported cases.

  • The clinical presentation and pathological findings were similar to the 79 previously documented cases.

    • Implications:

    • This report adds to the limited literature on pediatric cervical thymic cysts.
    • Highlights the importance of comprehensive preoperative imaging for diagnosis.
    • Emphasizes the efficacy of surgical excision and histological confirmation for management.
