Abstract Two cases of malignant thymoma presenting as an anterior neck mass are reported. Both tumors were initially diagnosed as thyroid carcinoma. The lesions were not ectopic thymomas and had invaded the thyroid gland from the mediastinum. Careful preoperative examination is important to distinguish thyroid cancer from invasive thymoma.
