Abstract
A girl with vertically acquired HIV infection presented with a 6-month history of dyspnea and chest pain. Computed tomography of the thorax showed a heterogenous mass measuring 13 Ã 9 Ã 17 cm located in the anterior mediastinum. Complete surgical resection was accomplished with no complications. The final diagnosis was multilocular thymic cyst, a distinct pathologic entity that is morphologically distinguishable and unrelated to congenital thymic cyst.
