| Core Tip |
In this editorial, we comment on a case report by Sun et al, entitled: Multilocular thymic cysts can be easily misdiagnosed as malignant tumor on computer tomography. We focus specifically on the pertinence of establishing a diagnosis in clinical practice of the ectopically localised tissue of thymus, especially in the case of cystic variation of this thymic tissue. We also summarise lesser-known facts about the anatomy, histopathology and developmental biology of the human thymus as one of the most enigmatic organs in the human body. |
