What r small-volume thymic tissues? seen n anterior mediastatin. thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal finding: The thymus gland is found in your mediastinum, it is part of your immune system (it helps with the development of your t-cells). It is larger in youth and diminishes in size with age. This is not a finding that suggests a problem.
