摘要

异位胸腺组织是一个罕见的发现和一个罕见的原因，侧面颈部肿块。在这里，我们提出一个3个月大的男婴与无痛左侧下颌肿块。该病例强调了超声在区分异位胸腺组织和其他儿科颈部肿块方面的诊断能力，通常使更昂贵或侵入性的成像变得不必要或可能适得其反，并允许避免不必要的手术和可能的并发症。

Atypical cervical ectopic thymus located in the submandibular space: a case report.

Ectopic thymic tissue is a rare finding and a rare cause of lateral neck masses. Here, we present a case of a 3-month-old male infant with a painless left sided submandibular mass. The case highlights the diagnostic power of ultrasound in differentiating ectopic thymic tissue from other pediatric neck masses, often rendering more expensive or invasive imaging unnecessary or potentially counterproductive and allowing to avoid unnecessary procedures and possible complications.
