Cervical ectopic thymus, a rare embryological anomaly, can present as a neck mass in infants. This case highlights its clinical presentation and management in a three-month-old male.

Area of Science:

  • Embryology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Anatomical Pathology

Background:

  • Cervical ectopic thymus is an uncommon embryological anomaly, typically found incidentally during autopsy.
  • While approximately 100 cases are documented, only a small percentage occur in neonates.

Observation:

  • A three-month-old male infant presented with a palpable neck lump and sleep-related snoring.
  • The infant was diagnosed with a solid cervical ectopic thymus.

Findings:

  • This case report details the embryopathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for cervical ectopic thymus.
  • Literature review provides context on this rare condition.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of cervical ectopic thymus is crucial for clinicians managing pediatric neck masses.
