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 be of low malignant potential since it severely compressed the inlet of left internal jugular vein as…

Ectopic hamartomatous thymoma (biphenotypic branchioma)
TLDR
The patient had no evidence of metastasis or recurrence for 26 months after the operation and it can be considered to update the name to “biphenotypic branchioma” in order to avoid conceptual confusion.
Ectopic hamartomatous thymoma: report of a case and review of literature.
TLDR
The clinicopathological features of a case of EHT in a 28-year-old Chinese male, together with a literature review, show a 3.0-cm well-defined nodule of heterogeneous density located within the left sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Ectopic Hamartomatous Thymoma: A Review Of The Literature With Report Of New Cases And Proposal Of A New Name: Biphenotypic Branchioma
TLDR
As this entity is a neoplasm that shows dual mesoderm and endoderm derivation/differentiation, a new name “biphenotypic branchioma” is proposed, to avoid taxonomic confusion, international consensus on terminology is desired.
A case report and review of the literature
TLDR
A 4-month-old female presented with severe jaundice, pruritus, and pale stool for 20 days and was diagnosed with BA combined with PFIC3, a disease that leads to intrahepatic cholestasis.

Ectopic hamartomatous thymoma: A distinctive benign lesion of lower neck
TLDR
Five cases of a distinctive tumor located in the soft tissues of the lower neck in adults are described and it is thought that these tumors are derived from the third branchial arch and that they are composed of abnormal thymic tissue.
Ectopic Hamartomatous Thymoma
TLDR
The authors report an example of an unusual lower neck lesion, ectopic hamartomatous thymoma, which was initially mistaken for a malignant neoplasm and the correct interpretation was rendered upon review of the permanent sections.

TLDR
The data support reclassification of this distinctive process as a branchial anlage mixed tumor with a strong predilection for the lower neck region of adult males with conventional mixed tumors of skin adnexal or salivary gland origin, synovial sarcoma, a peripheral nerve sheath tumor variant, and cystic teratoma.
Unusual subcutaneous mixed tumour exhibiting adipose, fibroblastic, and epithelial components.
TLDR
A subcutaneous mass in the left supraclavicular fossa of a 55-year-old woman proved on histological examination to be composed of islands of squamous cells embedded in bands of spindle cells and associated with mature adipose tissue, and is provisionally regarded as an unusual mixed tumour featuring mesenchymal and epithelial components.
