Abstract
We report a rare case of cervical ectopic thymoma. A 54-year-old man was found in computed tomography (CT) to have a nodule below the lower pole of the left lobe of the thyroid. Fine-needle aspiration cytology showed spindle cell clustersintermingled with small lymphocytes. The tumor was resected together with the left thyroid lobe and diagnosed histologically as cervical ectopic thymoma. Giventhe rarity of this tumor, fine-needle aspiration cytology assists in correct diagnosis.
