A member asked:
Ectopic cervical thymoma. can a primary thymoma be located in the base of the neck, and not directly on the thymus gland?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ectopic means an unusual location. Thymus gland is usually in the chest but it can be located ectopically in the neck hence the term ectopic cervical thymoma, i.e. a tumor originates from the thymus which is located at an unusual location in the neck (cervical area).
