The thymus is part of the body's immune system, and plays its largest role early in a person's development. Surgical removal of the thymus has noeffect on the immune system for someone after they are born. ... Roughly 10 percent of patients with myasthenia gravis have a thymoma, or a tumor on the thymus gland.

A thymectomy is the surgical removal of the thymus gland. The thymus has been demonstrated to play a role in thedevelopment of MG. It is removed in an effort to improve the weakness caused by MG, and to remove a thymoma if present. About 10% of MG patients have a tumor of the thymuscalled a thymoma.
