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!
