Help with ct chest results. residual thymic tissue in the anterior mediastinum. everything i look up says this is cancer . is it? please help

Talk to doctor: I think it is time for you to have a talk with your doctor about this. I doubt however that this is a cancerous lesion unless you have a muscle condition known as myasthenia gravis.
