- W2092112980 abstract "A 56-year-old man was examined for a 1.5-year history of recurrent airway infections and sinusitis. He had also been diagnosed with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), hemoglobin concentration 4.7 mmol/l, for which he was treated with corticosteroids (prednisone 1 mg/kg/day) for 1 year and blood transfusions.1Murakawa T Nakajima J Sato H et al.Thymoma associated with pure red-cell aplasia: clinical features and prognosis.Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. 2002; 10: 150-154Crossref PubMed Scopus (35) Google Scholar This treatment stabilized his hemoglobin concentration at 9.5 mmol/l. The recurrent airway infections were first thought to be treatment-related complications by corticosteroids and were treated with antibiotics. Sputum cultures grew Haemophilus influenzae. A computed tomographic scan to exclude bronchiectasis revealed a non-invasive thymoma measuring 11 × 5 cm (Figure 1). Because the sinopulmonary infections did not diminish, additional tests were performed to exclude an immunodeficiency that can occur in the presence of a thymoma. The immunoglobulin levels were very low (IgG 3.2 g/l; IgA and IgM non-detectable), and the patient was diagnosed with Good's syndrome.2Miyakis S Pefanis A Passam FH et al.Thymoma with immunodeficiency (Good's syndrome): review of the literature apropos three cases.Scand J Infect Dis. 2006; 38: 314-319Crossref PubMed Scopus (22) Google Scholar Treatment with intravenous gamma globulin was started every 6 weeks, which increased the IgG level to 10.2 g/l and led to less frequent pulmonary infections. The noninvasive and encapsulated thymoma was radically resected by median sternotomy3Wright CD Kessler KA Surgical treatment of thymic tumors.Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2005; 17: 20-26Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (31) Google Scholar (Figure 2). Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of thymoma, type A/B. As expected, the hypogammaglobulinaemia did not diminish. Therefore, intravenous gamma globulin therapy was continued every 6 weeks. The hematopoiesis, however, completely recovered after thymectomy. Thymomas are associated with different paraneoplastic syndromes; myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, pemphigus, subacute sensory neuronopathy, pure red cell aplasia, and immunodeficiency. Most of these are autoimmune or endocrine-related. The most clinically important are myasthenia gravis, PRCA, and hypogammaglobulinaemia. In the presence of a thymoma, PRCA occurs in 5% to 15% and hypogammaglobulinaemia in less than 5% of the cases. Treatment of PRCA consists of thymectomy. However, this may result in normalization of the bone marrow in only 30% to 40%. A recent case series of 12 patients with thymoma and PRCA reported no remission of anemia after thymectomy.4Thompson CA Steensma DP Pure red cell aplasia associated with thymoma: clinical insights from a 50-year single-institution experience.Br J Haematol. 2006; 135: 405-407Crossref PubMed Scopus (65) Google Scholar In contrast to other paraneoplastic disorders, hypogammaglobulinaemia is not influenced by thymectomy." @default.
