The thymus gland is an organ present in the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/body\/24113-mediastinum#:~:text=Your%20mediastinum%20is%20a%20space,mediastinum%2C%20including%20tumors%20and%20infections.\">mediastinum<\/a> (behind the breast bone) and functions until puberty and is responsible for the T-cell mediated immunity. The thymus gland then involutes and disappears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the gland persists, it can develop a tumour called \u201cThymoma\u201d. It is associated with other diseases like Myasthenia Gravis, Rheumatoid Arthritis Sjogren\u2019s Syndrome, and Hypogammaglobulinaemia. It is rare and accounts for less than 1% of all cancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">90% of cancers that form in the thymus are Thymomas, while 10% of them can be Thymic Carcinoma, Lymphomas, or Carcinoid tumours. Thymoma surgery is a common surgical procedure of removing thymoma, which is a median sternotomy and performed by a <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.icts.com.sg\/about-us\/\">cardiothoracic surgeon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/icts.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ICTS_Pulmonary-Nodules-Articles-Images-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms and diagnosis of Thymoma &amp; Thymic Carcinoma in Singapore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In about 25% of Thymoma &amp; Thymic Carcinoma cases, patients are asymptomatic. They are typically detected when the patient is screened for other things or during a routine chest x-ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some symptoms include chest pain, coughing, and upper airway condition. They can also be related to Myasthenia Gravis and the patient may have muscle weakness, fatigue or shortness of breath or difficulty in swallowing, as well as anaemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the time for diagnosis is done with the aid of a CT scan and does not require a biopsy. But if it is inconclusive on a scan then a biopsy will be done if there is a suspicion of Thymic Carcinoma, if the tumour is large or if there is associated other diseases like a lymphoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"70e327\" class=\"section-70e327 gutentor-module gutentor-module-accordion\"><div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div id=\"675b07\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m6-item section-675b07 gutentor-module gutentor-module-accordion-item\"><div class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel g-a-panel-70e327\"><div tabindex=\"0\" class=\"gm-ah-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-item-heading gutentor-module-icon-position-right\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler-label\">Chest X-Ray<\/span><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-icon\"><i class=\"gm-aio-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-open fas fa-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"gm-aic-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-close fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gm-ab-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-body\">\n<div id=\"section-g6d8209\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e0 section-g6d8209 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">These tumours can be found incidentally on a chest x-ray.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"2c0c45\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m6-item section-2c0c45 gutentor-module gutentor-module-accordion-item\"><div class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel g-a-panel-70e327\"><div tabindex=\"0\" class=\"gm-ah-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-item-heading gutentor-module-icon-position-right\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler-label\">CT Scan<\/span><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-icon\"><i class=\"gm-aio-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-open fas fa-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"gm-aic-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-close fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gm-ab-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-body\">\n<div id=\"section-g3e2e79\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e0 section-g3e2e79 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">This is the most common investigation done to find the extent of the tumour and the association of it with the nearby structures.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"292fbc\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m6-item section-292fbc gutentor-module gutentor-module-accordion-item\"><div class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel g-a-panel-70e327\"><div tabindex=\"0\" class=\"gm-ah-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-item-heading gutentor-module-icon-position-right\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler-label\">PET CT Scan<\/span><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-icon\"><i class=\"gm-aio-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-open fas fa-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"gm-aic-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-close fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gm-ab-70e327 gutentor-module-accordion-body\">\n<div id=\"section-g451629\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e0 section-g451629 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">If the cancer is confirmed then a PET CT scan is done to find out the extent of the disease, and the spread of the disease in other parts of the body if any.
