Sonographic, CT, and MR examinations showed a mass in the carotid and posterior spaces (triangle) extending from below the submandibular gland to the supraclavicular fossa, displacing the common carotid artery and the sternomastoid anteriorly. The mass was solid, noncalcified with lobulated outlines, hypoechoic on sonograms, of soft-tissue density on CT scans, isointense on T1-weighted MR images, hyperintense on T2-weighted MR images, and enhanced mildly after injection of contrast material on CT and MR studies. Histologic examination revealed a carcinoma showing thymiclike differentiation, a rare tumor of the neck and thyroid gland. ER -
