Abstract
The thymus has long been an organ of mystery. Today, it is known to be central to the construction of our immune system. I focus on the days when no one was sure what the thymus's function was. I review the Japanese literature regarding the beginnings of surgery of the thymus, especially the surgery for thymoma and thymectomy, which was performed as a treatment for myasthenia gravis.
