Cervical thymic cyst: a case report.

This paper describes the case of a young man who presented with a mass in the left side of his neck. Surgical excision revealed an ectopic thymic cyst. Thymic cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis of neck masses, especially in children. The authors review the embryology, diagnosis, and management of this pathology.
