Abstract

The association between Good’s syndrome with pure red cell aplasia is extremely rare. We report a middle-aged female patient with thymoma who developed concomitantly these two paraneoplastic syndromes. Despite perfomance surgical resection thymoma, none of autoinmune disorders had improved.
