We report a 2-week-old male with a large cystic mass in the left cervical and face region. No connection to the brain or spinal cord was discernable either at operation or on imaging. Histological study of this mass revealed central nervous tissue including neuroglia, ependymal cells, non-neuroblastic neurons, pigmented retinal epithelium, and choroid plexus. This case represents the rare ectopic 'brain'. We review this case as well as the literature concerning these unusual masses.
我们报告一例2周大的男性患儿，其左侧颈部和面部区域有一个巨大的囊性肿物。手术及影像学检查均未发现该肿物与脑或脊髓有联系。对该肿物的组织学研究显示其包含中枢神经组织，如神经胶质、室管膜细胞、非神经母细胞性神经元、色素性视网膜上皮和脉络丛。此病例代表了罕见的异位“脑”。我们对该病例以及有关这些异常肿物的文献进行了回顾。
