Abstract in English

Background: A defective migration of the thymus during fetal life leads to the remnant tissue, situated along the path of descent, forming an abnormal mass. Case Report: The case of a neonate with an upper lateral neck mass is presented. Ultrasonography, CT, and MRI could only localize this mass as lying deeply and laterally within the parotid-submandibular area. The exact nature of the mass was suggested only after histopathology, which revealed normal thymic tissue. Conclusion: Though a rare entity, ectopic thymus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck masses in young patients. In view of occasional neoplastic transformation, it is important to localize and recognize ectopic thymic tissue.
