Abstract

Ectopic thymic tissue in neck is not uncommon; however, ectopic thymic cysts in neck are rare and intrathyroidal thymic cyst is still rarer. Multilocular proliferating thymic cyst is a rare entity and very few cases are described in mediastinum. We present the first case of a 73-year-old male with an intrathyroidal multilocular proliferating thymic cyst mimicking thyroid malignancy radiologically.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
