ABSTRACT
The association of thymoma, with myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia and hypogammaglobulinemia (Good's syndrome), has been described. We report a case of a 51 years old woman who after a surgieal resection of a thymoma had several Symptoms and study showed hypogammaglobulinemia. During the study of a persitent diarrhea distal ileum carcinoid tumor was diagnosed. The forgotten association of thymoma and malignancies is of a great clinical significance. Evidence linking thymoma with other neoplasms is provided by the clinical literature.
