Abstract
Thymic cysts have not been previously reported to show malignant transformation. This is the first documented case of well-differentiated papillary squamous cell carcinoma arising in a preexisting thymic cyst. The tumor was treated by surgical excision with no evidence of metastasis 6 1/2 years later.Keywords
