Abstract
|
|
|
|
Aberrant cervical thymus is rarely reported in adults. We report a case of solid aberrant cervical thymus in a 27-year-old female, which was found incidentally on ultrasonography for the evaluation of the thyroid cancer. On ultrasonography, the lesion was found between the left thyroid and common carotid artery without any remarkable interface echo, and had similar echogenicity to the thyroid. The lesion extended to the upper pole of the left thyroid.
