Abstract
In 1971 an ectopic solid thymus gland of the neck was first reported in Japan. Since then only a few individual case reports have been published. This article presents one such patient who was recently found and reviews the literature. The embryology of ectopic solid thymus glands and thymic cysts in the neck is also discussed.
