Subject: Location of thymectomy scar. sm
Under physical exam, my doc says "There is a healed right upper parasternal surcigal scar." The patient had a thymectomy. I'm supposed to put this under one of the usual headings for a PE, should it be Neck or Thorax? (The dcotor usually dictates the heading, but did not this time.) Thanks for any help!
