Abstract
Ectopic ‘hamartomatous’ thymoma is a rare benign neoplasm. These tumours are found in the neck and are thought to be part of a spectrum of ectopic cervical thymic neoplasia. The clinical and histological features are discussed and the literature is reviewed. An attempt is made to explain in embryological terms why such lesions appear to occur more commonly on the left side.Keywords
