Introduction: This report describes an uncommon case of mediastinalthymic cyst, which was incidentally found in a 60-year-old female during her visit. Since the nature of her lesion was unknown, it was surgically removed, and mediastinalthymic cyst was diagnosed on the basis of pathologic findings. This report describes the course of treatment and outcome. The description of mediastinalthymic cyst in the literature is very limited. Our experience in the diagnosis and management of this case adds to this description. The role of imaging in the diagnosis is also discussed. Thymic cysts are usually diagnosed accidentally during radiological evaluation of the chest for unrelated conditions. Although, most of these cysts are asymptomatic and of no clinical significance, a rare few are of importance because they cause symptoms and signs, masquerading as malignant mediastinal tumours. Symptoms appear late when the mass compresses on adjoining tissues.
