A 5-month-old infant presented with severe dyspnea and dysphagia resulting from a right-sided cervical mass. At 5 months of age, a large aberrant thymus was excised, resulting in the disappearance of all symptoms. Pathological examination showed normal thymus tissue. Since the preoperative chest X-ray film showed a normal thymic shadow and the T-lymphocyte functions were normal, we conclude that this was not an ectopic gland but an undescended thymic implant.
一名5个月大的婴儿因右侧颈部肿块出现严重呼吸困难和吞咽困难。5个月大时，切除了一个巨大的异位胸腺，所有症状随之消失。病理检查显示胸腺组织正常。由于术前胸部X光片显示胸腺阴影正常且T淋巴细胞功能正常，我们得出结论，这不是一个异位腺体，而是一个未下降的胸腺植入物。
