Abstract
The regrowth of the thymus after corrective surgery has received little attention. When it occurs, it can safely be taken as a sign of improvement in the patient’s condition. Occasionally, the regrowth of thymus is massive. This rebound enlargement should not be mistaken for a mediastinal hematoma, abscess or other complications of cardiac surgery.Keywords
