Fig. 5 — A 58-year-old woman with a history of hypothyroidism underwent MRI for a mediastinal lesion noted incidentally on a neck CT examination performed for dysphagia and throat pain. (a) An oval-shaped lesion abutting the aorta was noted (arrows), which was isointense on T1-weighted image [140 ms repetition time (TR)/2.46 ms echo time], and (b) slightly hyperintense to skeletal muscle on HASTE image (1000 ms TR/101 ms TE). Surgical resection was performed for definitive diagnosis and it was histopathologically confirmed to be intrathymic cyst.
