Popis:	Our group of 17 thymus operated patients--aged between 2 months and 18 years--consisted of 4 girls and 13 boys. All 5 patients whose operations were connected with a treatment for myasthenia gravis showed clinical improvement. In 3 children with malignant tumours the extent of surgery determined their subsequent prognosis. In 9 patients thoracotomy was performed because of space-occupying growth, or for the purpose of ensuring diagnostic safety.
