Ectopic Cervical Thymoma in a Patient Diagnosed With Graves Disease: A Systematic Literature Review

Thymomas are benign thymic epithelial neoplasms, rarely found outside the anterior mediastinum. Although hyperthyroid states have been associated with thymic hyperplasia, only 3 thymoma cases have been previously reported in patients with Graves disease (GD), all within the anterior mediastinum.

description Thymomas are benign thymic epithelial neoplasms, rarely found outside the anterior mediastinum. Although hyperthyroid states have been associated with thymic hyperplasia, only 3 thymoma cases have been previously reported in patients with Graves disease (GD), all within the anterior mediastinum. Here, we report a case of ectopic cervical thymoma in a 22-year-old female patient previously treated for GD. The patient underwent ultrasonography, computed tomography, inconclusive fine-needle aspiration, and ultimately gross dissection for diagnostic workup and definitive treatment of an anterior neck mass, producing a 2.5 × 2.3 × 1.5-cm entity consistent with Masaoka stage I and type B2 thymoma per World Health Organization classification. The patient underwent an uncomplicated subsequent clinical course, with no adjuvant radiotherapy administered. After conducting a systematic literature review, we conclude that of the 109 cases of ectopic cervical thymoma reported, this is the first to describe a case of ectopic cervical thymoma in a patient with a past medical history of GD. For GD patients in stable euthyroid remission with the persistent or recurrent presence of an anterior neck mass, the extrathyroidal origin of the mass should always be considered, including the exceptional presence of a cervical ectopic thymoma.
