Abstract
Objective: Thymic cysts are rare mediastinal cystic pathologies and have two subtypes namely unilocular and multilocular. This study
aims to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of thymic cysts and to compare the clinical and histopathologic features of
multilocular thymic cysts (MTCs) and unilocular thymic cysts (UTCs).
Patients and Methods: Twenty-three patients with the diagnosis of thymic cyst between 2012 and 2020 were included. We compared
the clinicopathological characteristics of unilocular and multilocular thymic cysts.
Results: The mean age of patients was 43 years, ranging from 6 to 80 years. Fourteen cases were UTCs and 9 cases were MTCs. MTCs
were found to be statistically more common in younger patients, and have much more histomorphological changes pointing to the
complicated cysts (p
