New-born with Cervical Ectopic Thymus: An Uncommon Developmental Disorder Which Has to be Consider in the Differential Diagnosis of Unilateral Neck Mass in Children
The aim of this paper is to report an unusual case of ectopic cervical thymus (CET) in a one-month-old infant and to underline the importance of considering it in the differential diagnosis of neck masses in children
Ectopic thymic tissue may be placed anywhere along the cervical pathway of the thymopharyngeal duct [1] from the mandible angle to the manubrium of the sternum. These migrational anomalies may represent an unusual cause of pediatric neck lump but it is rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of neck swellings
