Cervical ectopic thymus is a rare cause of solid neck masses in children. Most children are asymptomatic, but some may present with a palpable neck mass, with or without compressive symptoms. Cervical ectopic thymus is often discovered incidentally and mistaken for an infection or neoplasm. We present the case of an infant with retropharyngeal ectopic thymus and describe our intraoral surgical approach.
颈部异位胸腺是儿童颈部实性肿块的罕见病因。大多数儿童无症状，但有些儿童可能出现可触及的颈部肿块，伴或不伴有压迫症状。颈部异位胸腺常为偶然发现，易被误诊为感染或肿瘤。我们报告一例咽后异位胸腺婴儿病例，并描述我们的口腔内手术入路。
