Abstract

Even though the coexistence of rare clinical conditions may be coincidental, an association between thymoma and autoimmune diseases appears well-established, possibly mediated via T-lymphocytes. An unusual case of initial polycytaemia vera and the later diagnosis of a thymoma, and with this known associated diseases is presented.
