摘要：
Bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare in the thymus. A 74-year-old man was found to have ocular-type myasthenia gravis. Chest computed tomography showed a tumor in the anterior mediastinum. A thymoma was suspected, and thymectomy was performed. Postoperative specimen showed dilated cyst wall lined by pseudostratified ciliated epithelium. A bronchogenic cyst was diagnosed. Although relatively rare, bronchogenic cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis of tumors in the anterior mediastinum in patients with myasthenia gravis.
