    Abstract:
    Ectopic cervical thymoma (ECT) is a rare tumor. We present a case of 56-year-old woman with an ECT in the anterior neck that was correctly diagnosed preoperatively. The patient had no symptoms of myasthenia gravis or other immune disorders, and the tumor was not invading any adjacent structures. We performed tumor resection and thymectomy through a transcervical approach using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with a multi-access single port. To our knowledge, this is a novel combined technique for the resection of an ECT.
