A member asked:
What would residual adenopathy or residual thymic tissue mean on ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shrunk: The thymus shrinks after puberty and thus is considered residual. The adenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes) has shrunk or resolved after a recent infection or whatever process which had caused it.
