Abstract

Ectopic cervical thymus (ECT) is a rare cause of solid cervical mass in the pediatric age group. The location of the mass along the path of thymic descent (thymopharyngeal duct), sonographic echo pattern and MR signal intensity identical to that of normal orthotopic thymus in the anterior mediastinum help us in making a confident diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge only nine cases have been reported in infants in the literature. We present a case of ECT presenting as a right upper neck mass in a 2 month old child.

摘要

异位颈胸腺（ECT）是儿童年龄组实性颈部肿块的罕见病因。肿块沿胸腺下降路径（胸腺咽管）的位置、超声回声模式以及与前纵隔正常原位胸腺相同的磁共振信号强度有助于我们做出明确诊断。据我们所知，文献中仅报道了9例婴儿病例。我们报告一例2个月大儿童ECT表现为右上颈部肿块的病例。
