Abstract
- Thymoma has been associated with a variety of diseases, including myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), hypogammaglobulinemia, and other abnormal immune and endocrine disorders. Herein we report a case of PRCA associated with invasive thymoma in a 65-year-old man. In spite of total thymectomy and irradiation to the mediastinum, no significant response was observed. The mechanisms and management of PRCA associated with invasive thymoma are reviewed.
