Overview
The incidence of thymoma is approximately 0.13 per 100,000 individuals. Thymic neoplasms are the most common tumors located in the anterior mediastinum (20%). Incidence increases in the fourth and fifth decade of life, and peaks in the seventh decade. Men and women are equally affected. The disease predominantly affects Asians and Pacific Islanders in the U.S.
