Key Words	Thymus; Intrathyroidal thymus; Ultrasonography; Diagnosis
Core Tip	The unique ultrasonographic features of intrathyroidal ectopic thymus (IET) can be remembered as; well-circumscribed, hypoechoic eco pattern with linear or punctate echogenic foci resembling thymus, fusiform or oval shape, diameters smaller than 1 cm, location of middle and/or lower 1/3 part of thyroid gland, hypovascularity or avascularity and the same strain ratio values with the surrounding thyroid gland on elastography. Although some studies suggested cytopathological examination for the accurate diagnosis of a suspected IET case, majority of the previous studies stated that IET can be followed without the presence of any atypical findings. So that, unnecessary surgical or interventional procedures can be avoided.
