Information for Patients

An abscess is a pocket of pus. You can get an abscess almost anywhere in your body. When an area of your body becomes infected, your body's immune system tries to fight the infection. White blood cells go to the infected area, collect within the damaged tissue, and cause inflammation. During this process, pus forms.

You have a disease of a gland in your ribcage. This gland is the thymus

The thymus is a small organ and is part of the immune system. The thymus lies below the neck and is partly surrounded by the lungs. Defense cells (immune cells) mature in the thymus. The thymus is at its largest in children and adolescents. Later in life, the thymus gradually shrinks since it is no longer required.
