I had also read that most were considered benign and inquired about that but was told by the thoracic surgeon that while many things of a benign nature may be causing the "tissue density" on the CT ( it's not definitively a thymoma), that actual masses are most often malignant yet very slow growing. He's said that he definitely doesn't want to open me until Dr M has ruled out EVERY other possible cause of the prca first.
