🛡️ Does adult thymectomy increase long-term cancer or mortality risk? In a 10-year propensity-matched cohort study, thymectomy was not associated with excess mortality or extrathymic malignancy compared to cardiothoracic surgery controls

Closing a loop: The entire modern field of regulatory T cells emerged from the ashes of the suppressor T cell field because of experiments showing destruction of the reproductive system following neonatal thymectomy.

'We found that Treg depletion induces severe autoimmune orchitis and epididymitis, manifested by an exacerbated immune cell infiltration [CD4 T cells, monocytes, and mononuclear phagocytes] and the development of antisperm antibodies'

In 1982, Sakaguchi et al. studied the cellular events in post-thymectomy autoimmune oophoritis in mice and showed a requirement of Lyt-1 effector cells for oocytes damage after adoptive transfer. rupress.org/jem/article/...

Early-life thymectomy leads to an increase of granzyme-producing γδ T cells in children with congenital heart disease - Nature Communications
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is often treated with cardiac surgery in infancy, which involves the removal of the thymus, due to its position in the chest. Here authors show that the γδ T cell compar...

You don't see that often!

Pt had thymectomy, R pneumonectomy, pericardiectomy+ repair with pericardial patch (on CPB due to technical challenges).

Post-op worsening hypotension on escalating vasopressors. Presumed vasoplegia, CXR ordered.

What was the cause of instability?

Intersting. In situations of thymectomy, there may be other regulatory mechanisns at play.

I just wanted my tumor to show my students when I had a thymectomy (I actually didn’t, but my students begged to to ask because they wanted to play pathologist). When I asked my surgeon I said I know I couldn’t, but my students wanted me to ask anyway. She laughed and then took TONS of pics for them

In another 1982 study on post-thymectomy autoimmune oophoritis, Sakaguchi et al. showed that neonatal thymectomy abrogates the Lyt-1 T cell subpopulation that serves as suppressive or regulatory cells. rupress.org/jem/article/...
