Thymic cyst

Chest

A thymic cyst is a noncancerous fluid-filled sac in the thymus gland. Most are found unexpectedly and cause no symptoms. An MRI may show a fluid-filled structure in the front of the central chest consistent with a thymic cyst. Finding a thymic cyst helps confirm its noncancerous nature and distinguish it from more concerning mediastinal masses.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
