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, and peaks in the seventh decade of life.
- Men and women are equally affected.
- The disease predominantly affects Asians and Pacific Islanders in the U.S.
