A case of thymoma with mixed spindle and lymphocytic variety along with acquired, secondary, chronic pure red cell aplasia is an uncommon entity. The presented case is a case of anterior mediastinal tumour with marked anemia. On histopathologic and hematological examinations, it proved to be a case of thymoma along with pure red cell aplasia.
