Hodgkin’s disease of the thymus is well recognized as being associ­ated pathologically with the formation of both microscopic and small macroscopic cysts. Primary thymic cysts of the mediastinum are un­common. It is also rare for Hodgkin’s disease to take the form of a small focus of tissue in the wall of a thymic cyst.
