ABSTRACT
Neck swelling in the children's has always been a diagnostic challenge for radiologists. A 3 year boy presented in the surgical outdoor with a painless lateral neck mass and was referred to our department for USG neck. On USG ectopic thymus was suspected. MRI was advised to confirm the ultrasound finding .MRI confirmed our ultrasound diagnosis by typical appearance of thymic tissue using different sequences. Information about this anatomic variant and of its variable clinical presentation is essential and it should be included in the differential diagnosis of neck masses, especially in children
