Both pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) and hypogammaglobulinemia are rarer conditions than myasthenia gravis (MG) in thymoma patients. Several articles have discussed the relation between PRCA and thymoma or hypogammaglobulinemia and thymoma, and their proper treatments. Instances of both PRCA and hypogammaglobulinemia in a thymoma patient are few and reported sporadically in the literature. We discuss a 46-year-old woman with thymoma and simultaneous PRCA and hypogammaglobulinemia who achieved complete remission from PRCA after perioperative steroid administration and extended thymectomy, and review the literature.
