We present a case of 83-year-old woman with pure red cell aplasia appearing eight months after thymo-thymectomy for an invasive thymoma. She underwent thymo-thymectomy for an invasive thymoma in July 1996. Preoperative examination revealed neither anemia nor hypogammaglobulinemia. About eight months after the operation, she was readmitted because of anemia and hypogammaglobulinemia. Bone marrow aspiration revealed absence of erythroblasts and chest CT revealed norecurrence of thymoma. Her anemia had responded to ciclosporin.
