    Abstract:
    A 41-year-old man with myasthenia gravis was referred to our clinic to undergo a thymectomy by video-assisted thoracic surgery. After physical examination of the thorax and evaluation by computed tomography, a mass lesion was noticed in the neck and thymectomy was performed by partial sternotomy combined with a cervical incision. The cervical thymoma was discontinuous with the thymus. Thymoma in the neck has rarely been reported. In this case report we emphasize the possible presence of thymoma in the neck and the importance of neck evaluation in patients with myasthenia gravis.
