Two Cases of Ectopic Hamartomatous Thymoma Masquerading as Sarcoma
Ectopic hamartomatous thymoma (EHT) is an extremely rare benign tumor. EHTs are difficult to differentiate from sarcomas, especially synovial sarcomas. We encountered two cases of EHT that were referred from other hospitals because sarcoma was suspected. In these cases, fusion gene detection via polymerase chain reaction or fluorescence in situ hybridization was useful for differentiating EHT f...

Ectopic hamartomatous thymoma (EHT) is an extremely rare benign neoplasm. It is usually found at the root of the neck (frequently on the left) and does not usually impact adjacent tissues in clinically significant ways. While EHT manifests distinct pathological features, the lesion is either asymptomatic or may show nonspecific clinical features. We report one case of EHT which was assumed to b...
متن کاملEctopic hamartomatous thymoma: clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and histogenetic considerations in four new cases.
Four new cases of ectopic hamartomatous thymoma are presented. The tumor occurred either superficially or deep in the area of the sternoclavicular joint and consisted of solid islands of squamous epithelium which blended with spindled cells. Cysts lined by squamous epithelium, small glands, and fat also occurred in variable amounts. Both the spindled and epithelial regions of the tumor expresse...

A 42-year-old man presented with a two-year history of progressive dysphagia and hoarseness. Esophagogram and endoscopy revealed submucosal mass effect on the upper esophagus. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an elongated mass in the retrotracheal region of the lower neck with extension to the posterior mediastinum. Partial tumor resection and histopathological evalua...
متن کاملEctopic hamartomatous thymoma: report of a case and review of literature.
Ectopic hamartomatous thymoma (EHT) is an exceedingly rare lesion that usually arises in the lower neck and mainly affects adult men. We present the clinicopathological features of a case of EHT in a 28-year-old Chinese male, together with a literature review. Ultrasound imaging and a computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck demonstrated a 3.0-cm well-defined nodule of heterogeneous density lo...
