摘要：
This article illustrates a case of an aberrant cervical thymus presented as a neck mass. This is a case of a 4-month-old boy presenting with a right submandibular mass whose preoperative diagnosis was lymphangioma or neoplastic lesion. The mass was successfully removed and the histopathological examination showed normal thymic tissue with no diagnostic abnormality. This paper reviews the embryological background of aberrant cervical thymus, the varying clinical presentations with an emphasis on differential diagnosis, clinical work-up, and surgical treatment.
