Abstract
Three cases with thymic cysts are presented, 1 of which is the first American case in which ultrasonography played a major role in diagnosis and management. Ultrasonography is advocated as a valuable procedure in the safe and simple investigation of cervical and anterior mediastinal tumors. The use of angiography and cystography as complementary techniques in the diagnosis of these tumors is outlined. The embryology, clinical and roentgen findings of thymic cysts as well as their differential diagnosis are discussed.Keywords
