Multiloculated thymic cysts are uncommon lesions that can be either acquired or associated with malignancies. This report describes the fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of a mediastinal seminoma with prominent cystic change, confirmed by surgical pathology examination and ancillary studies perf

โฆ Synopsis
A case is presented of a young adult female who presented with nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease and a mediastinal mass that proved to be a thymic cyst. Prior to this illness, a chest x-ray had been obtained that did not show a mediastinal mass. This case illustrates that thymic cysts may arise simultaneously with mediastinal Hodgkin's disease, rather than as a result of treatment or being present congenitally.

Seventy-one patients with Hodgkin's disease who were initially treated at Johns Hopkins with radiation or radiation-chemotherapy from 1975-1980 had a five-year cumulative disease-free survival of I-A-100% (12 patients); II-A-85% (33 patients); II-B-83% (seven patients); 111-A-75% (ten patients); and
