The thymus, taking part in the formation of cellular immunity, occupies a central place among the organs of the immune system. During development, there is a dynamic migration of thymic tissue from embryonic sources located in the neck area to the mediastinum. Disruption of the thymic substance lowering processes leads to various forms of thymic ectopia, which causes difficulties in diagnosis and assessment of clinical symptoms.
