Biphenotypic Branchioma: A Better Name Than Ectopic Hamartomatous Thymoma for a Neoplasm with HRAS Mutation. [PDF]
Head Neck Pathol, 2020 Ectopic hamartomatous thymoma is a rare neck lesion originally thought to represent a non-neoplastic hamartoma, even though thymic origin has been questioned, and there is uncertainty about whether the lesion is a neoplasm. We investigated the genetics by performing targeted next generation sequencing (NGS). Three cases were identified from the authors'

Ectopic Hamartomatous Thymoma: A Review Of The Literature With Report Of New Cases And Proposal Of A New Name: Biphenotypic Branchioma. [PDF]
Head Neck Pathol, 2018 Ectopic hamartomatous thymoma (EHT) is a rare benign neoplasm of the lower neck suggesting branchial origin. Despite use of the term thymoma in the nomenclature, there is no evidence of thymic origin or differentiation. It affects middle-aged adults with a remarkable male predominance.
