ABSTRACT
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease involving neuromuscular junction. It can be associated with thymic hyperplasia, thymoma and various tumors involving thymus, but extrathymic malignant lymphoma associated with myasthenia gravis has been rarely reported. We experienced a 62-year-old woman diagnosed with ocular myasthenia gravis associated with small lymphocytic lymphoma without thymic involvement. She had complete remission after 6 cycles of chemotherapy, and symptoms of myasthenia gravis were completely resolved.
