“…This paper was published prior to the 1999 WHO Classification of thymic epithelial tumors. Since then, fewer than twenty cases of ECT have been published [2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Table 1 provides a list of the various reported subtypes as defined by the 1999/2004 WHO classification system where known.…”

“…Among these ectopic sites, the cervical region appears to be one of the most frequent locations, where close proximity to the thyroid frequently results in a mistaken clinical impression of a primary thyroid neoplasm. ECT most commonly presents as an enlarging neck mass, although one case of ECT with myasthenia gravis as the presenting symptom is on record [7]. In this paper, we present the clinicopathological features of two cases of ECT seen in our institution over the course of two decades.…”

“…The majority of reported ectopic cervical thymomas are not associated with myasthenia gravis or other paraneoplastic manifestations; only rarely have cases been reported in association with myasthenia gravis (7,8). The gross histological features of ectopic cervical thymoma are identical to its mediastinal counterparts.…”

“…Taweevisit et al (4) compiled the details of all 14 cases in a literature review. The initial cytological diagnoses included Hashimoto thyroiditis, lymphocytic thyroiditis, papillary and medullary carcinomas, malignant lymphoma of the thyroid and various types of soft-tissue tumor (3)(4)(5)7,(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). According to the 2004 WHO classification system, the thymoma subtypes were predominantly type AB and type B1, as well as two type A thymomas, one type B2 thymoma and one type B3 thymoma (5,6).…”
