AB  - The  thymus  gland  is  the  most  common  structure  in  the  anterior  mediastinum  that  requires  surgical  extirpation.  The  indication  for  thymectomy  is  typically  either  for  thymic  neoplasm  or  for  the  treatment  of  the  autoimmune  disorder  myasthenia  gravis  (MG).  Thymus  removal  is  usually  a  safe,  straightforward  procedure,  but  this  depends  on  knowledge  of  the  anatomic  and  embryologic  characteristics  of  thymic  development.
