RESUMO
Possible association between systemic lupus erythematosus and disorders of thymus has been shown in several reposrts. But the association is clearly not common as judged by fewer than 20 case reports in the world literature. One case of systemic lupus erythematosus in a patient with thymic hyperplasia is described. The woman had been suffered from purpura, dry mouth and dry eyes and complained of chest discomfort. In this case, thymectomy did not modify the course of systemic oupus erythematosus. Systemic lupus erythematosus with thymic disorder is very rare so we report this case with a review of literatures.
