Two rare cases of skin-based thymic remnants were found in newborns, presenting as congenital neck lesions. These dermal thymus findings may link to other facial and neck developmental defects.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Immunology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Thymic tissue is typically located in the chest and plays a crucial role in T cell maturation.
  • Congenital anomalies involving ectopic or remnant tissues can present unique diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • Two newborns presented with distinct congenital skin lesions on the neck.
  • One infant had a cleft lip and palate; the other exhibited multiple congenital anomalies associated with branchio-oculo-facial syndrome.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination revealed lobular foci in the dermis consistent with prethymic and thymic remnants.
  • Immunohistochemical analysis showed T and B cell distributions mirroring those in normal thymus tissue.

Implications:

  • Dermal thymus is proposed as a distinct entity based on these findings.
  • The presence of dermal thymus may be associated with other faciobranchial developmental defects.
