Ectopic cervical thymoma in a patient with myasthenia gravis.

Ti Hei Wu1, Jong Shiaw Jin, Tsai Wang Huang, Hung Chang, Shih Chun Lee.   

Abstract

Ectopic cervical thymoma is rare and is often misdiagnosed as a thyroid tumor or other malignancy. Ectopic thymic tissue can be found along the entire thymic descent path during embryogenesis. However, a thymoma arising from such ectopic thymic tissue is extremely rare. Herein we report a patient with ectopic cervical thymoma and myasthenia gravis (MG) and discuss the management.
