Abstract

A soft, poorly defined mass in the right upper neck of a 7-week-old boy was shown on histology to be ectopic thymus. As aberrant thymic tissue often does change into cysts or neoplasms removal is the treatment of choice. Its persistence in the upper neck seems to be very rare. Embryology, incidence, differential diagnosis and treatment are discussed with a review of the literature.

摘要

一名7周大男婴右上颈部有一质地柔软、边界不清的肿块，组织学检查显示为异位胸腺。由于异常胸腺组织常转变为囊肿或肿瘤，因此手术切除是首选治疗方法。其在上颈部持续存在的情况似乎非常罕见。本文结合文献复习，对其胚胎学、发病率、鉴别诊断及治疗进行了讨论。
