Abstract: Objectifs : Le kyste thymique est une tumeur congenitale rare. Souvent asymptomatique, elle atteint generalement les enfants âges de moins de 10 ans. Siegeant au niveau du cou, cette tumeur pose essentiellement le probleme de diagnostic differentiel clinique. Son traitement est chirurgical avec un excellent pronostic et un tres faible risque de recidive locale. Nous rapportons un cas de kyste thymique cervical et nous rappelons la pathogenie et les diagnostics differentiels. Mots cles : kyste thymique, cou, histologie Purpose of study : The thymic cyst is a rare congenital tumor. Usually asymptomatic, this tumor is generally seen in childhood under the age of ten. In the neck, the preoperative diagnosis of this tumor is difficult and is rarely made. The treatment of choice is surgical excision. The long-term prognosis is excellent with a low rate of local recurrence. We report a new case of cervical thymic cyst and review the pathogenesis and the differential diagnosis. Keywords : Thymic cyst, neck, histology.
