Abstract

Background Thymoma is a relatively rare disorder, but the true incidence in the United States is unknown because only cases described as “malignant” or “invasive” on final pathology reports are included in cancer registry data. An increasing number of thymomas may be identified incidentally on CT scans done for other purposes. As minimally invasive techniques have become more prevalent, thymectomy may also be offered for more patients. For these reasons, we hypothesized that the use of thymectomy has increased in the U.S. in recent years.
