Thymoma 18mm belongs to more serious cases, which may have local compression symptoms, distant metastasis and invasion risk of other organs.
Although the growth of thymoma is generally slow, 18 mm thymoma is generally of large size, and it is easy to compress the surrounding tissues to cause chest pain, chest tightness, hoarseness and other symptoms, so it is necessary to give timely surgery to remove the tumor completely.
Thymoma will not only cause local chest pain and chest tightness, but also easily spread around or distant metastasis, causing headache, chest pain, abdominal distension and other metastatic symptoms, which will not only make the patient’s quality of life decline, but also shorten the patient’s survival, so it is a more serious disease, and the patient needs to consult the Department of Thoracic Surgery and Medical Oncology as soon as possible.
