title: Thrombosed cavernous hemangioma arising in cervical ectopic thymus tissue: a case report.
abstract: We report the case of a 35-year-old male presenting with a steadily growing, painful left-cervical neck mass. Final histopathologic diagnosis was consistent with a thrombosed cavernous hemangioma arising in cervical ectopic thymus tissue. This is the first description, to our knowledge, of such an entity.
