The pathological diagnosis was type AB thymoma of the World Health Organization classification, and Masaoka stage I. Ciclosporin was started to treat PRCA 3 months after the surgery, and she has been well for about 1 year after surgery without recurrence of thymoma or relapse of anemia.

In addition to myasthenia gravis and Good's syndrome, paraneoplastic syndromes associated with thymoma can also be manifested with hematological disorders, such as pure red cell aplasia, aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis, hemolytic anemia, pernicious anemia, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

In conclusion, thymectomy may induce a striking improvement of therapyresistant autoimmune haemolytic anemia in patients with MG and thymoma, but in terms of remission, a long follow-up is needed as autoimmune diseases can show spontaneous fluctuations.

Thymic carcinoma and aplastic anemia: report of a previously undocumented association.
Thomas CV, Manivel JC.
Am J Hematol. 1987;25(3):333-5.
The carcinoma may have arisen in a previous undetected thymoma; alternatively, an underlying abnormality, presumably immunologic, played a role in the development of the anemia and the thymic carcinoma.
