- W4286297640 abstract "e20625 Background: Thymoma is an uncommon malignancy often associated with paraneoplastic syndromes including pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), occurring in up to 5% of patients with thymoma. Considering the rarity of thymoma-associated PRCA, optimal treatment regimens and impact on thymoma disease course have yet to be established. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients seen at the IUSCCC with thymoma and PRCA to extract and synthesize data on patient demographics, thymoma histology, hemoglobin levels, timeline of diagnoses, treatment regimens, and outcomes. Results: From 1993 to 2022, 10 patients (M:F = 4:6) with thymoma and PRCA were identified. Median follow-up duration was 75.0 months (range 32-202). Median age at thymoma diagnosis was 53.5 (range 40-80). Median age at PRCA diagnosis was 64.0 (range 40-80). Mean hemoglobin at PRCA diagnosis was 6.6. WHO classifications of thymoma included 10.0% A, 40.0% B1, 10.0% B2, 10.0% B2/B3, 30.0% not otherwise specified. Masoaka stages of thymoma included 20.0% stage I, 10.0% stage II, 10.0% stage III, 30.0% stage IVA, 30.0% stage IVB. Patients initially presented with thymoma (n = 7), PRCA (n = 1), or concurrent thymoma and PRCA (n = 2). For those initially presenting with thymoma, PRCA was subsequently diagnosed after a median 19.5 months (range 9-144). Of these 7 patients 3 experienced a relapse or progression of their thymoma at time of PRCA diagnosis, 3/7 had stable disease (1-insufficient data). Additional paraneoplastic syndromes were seen in 6 patients (hypogammaglobulinemia-2; pure white cell aplasia-1; myasthenia gravis-1; autoimmune neutropenia-1; colitis -1). Other diminished immunologic parameters observed were: immunoglobulin levels (n = 3); CD4 counts (n = 2); CD4:CD8 ratio (n = 4); and total B cell (n = 6). The primary outcome of the study was transfusion dependence, defined as requiring ≥1 PRBC transfusion per month for ≥3 months. Six achieved transfusion independence, while 3 remained transfusion dependent despite therapy (1 LTFU). Both patients with concurrent thymoma and PRCA underwent thymectomy, but only one achieved transfusion independence with additional adjuvant immunosuppressive therapies. Median duration of transfusion independence was 18.5 months (range 4-204). Median survival after bone marrow biopsy diagnosis of PRCA was 50.0 months (range 9-202). Conclusions: The impact of PRCA on thymoma disease course is variable. Most patients will recover with immunosuppressive therapy, but approximately 30.0% patients remained transfusion dependent. Our experience does not support thymectomy alone as primary treatment of PRCA. More research is needed to evaluate the mechanism of developing PRCA in thymoma and to define the optimal therapeutic approach." @default.
