Okay so I did some research and if hyperplasia is definitely the same thing as residual thymic tissue it does look as though surgery is indicated. Who makes the decision? Your neuro or a cardiothoracic surgeon? Does your neuro just refer you then they do it? My neuro is about to move to CA but I see him in a month when he returns to do one follow up.

OH I can't stand not knowing; I can take anything but hate being in limbo. I'm not sure if he'll make the call without a clear thymoma. However one of the articles I read was authored by a neuro who is at UMass, so if he is still there or has colleagues (I worked there for ten years) they should know.
