" 09/01/1995 - "Histologically, the lesions were characterized by cystic spaces lined by squamous or cuboidal epithelium showing severe chronic inflammatory changes with areas of cholesterol cleft granulomas, lymphoid follicular hyperplasia, and scattered foci of residual thymic parenchyma within the walls of the cysts, resulting in a picture indistinguishable from acquired multilocular thymic cysts.
