      We reported a case of cervical ectopic thymus in a 5-years-old girl. The mass presenting in the left neck was removed, and the histology showed normal thymic tissue. Preoperative diagnosis was difficult. In the case of cervical mass, diferential diagnosis should include ectopic thymus.

Key words : ectopic thymus, infant, cervical mass
