Thymomas are rare tumors, which can be associated to a variety of paraneoplastic syndromes, including a fatal hypogammaglobulinemia, namely Good?s Syndrome (GS). Although the combination of thymoma and hypogammaglobulinemia is regarded as sufficient for diagnosis of Good?s syndrome, some thymoma patients with a clear clinical picture of immunodeficiency present normal levels of immunoglobulins. We describe the case of a patient, with a 20-year history of thymoma, who underwent several operations and lines of chemotherapy, and suffered from recurrent infections, including one rare skin infection from Pseudoallescheria boydii. The patient constantly presented normal levels of gammaglobulins.
