Abstract
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is present in 50% of thymomas and is rarely
associated with thymic carcinoma. We present the case of a 49-year-old
woman with malignant thymoma, treated with surgery followed by
radiotherapy, and a late seronegative MG diagnosis. This case reports the
importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of the
potential correlation of malignant and benign diseases.
Keywords
Seronegative myasthenia gravis, malignant thymoma, tomotherapy,
paraneoplastic disorder.
