A case of myasthenia gravis in a 15 years old girl is pre·sented. The disease was present for 5 years before thymectomy was performed. Indications for thymectomy, preoperative preparation, anesthetic and surgical management is -discussed.
متن کاملMultiple Thymoma with Myasthenia Gravis
The actual incidence of multiple thymoma is unknown and rarely reported because it remains controversial whether the cases represent a disease of multicentric origin or a disease resulting from intrathymic metastasis. In this case, a patient underwent total thymectomy for multiple thymoma with myasthenia gravis via bilateral video-assisted thoracic surgery. A well-encapsulated multinodular cyst...
متن کاملMuscle pathology, thymoma, and immunological abnormalities in patients with myasthenia gravis.
In 1901, Weigert described a patient with myasthenia gravis, thymoma, and lymphorrhages. He regarded these lymphocellular infiltrates in the muscles as metastases of the thymoma. Lymphorrhages have since been frequently described in patients with myasthenia, with or without thymoma (Link, 1903; Rowland, Hoefer, Aranow, and Houston Merritt, 1956; Mendelow, 1958; Genkins, Mendelow, Sobel, and Oss...
متن کاملThymoma complicating myasthenia gravis
Purpose: We conducted this study to retrospectively analyze the clinical effects of surgical resection for patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) complicated with thymoma. Methods: 162 patients with myasthenia gravis complicated with thymoma, that were admitted to our hospital and underwent surgical disease resection from Nov. 1993 to Nov. 2015, were selected for this study. Analyzed were the pat...
متن کاملMicroscopic thymoma and myasthenia gravis.
A rare case of microscopically sized thymoma is described in a 56 year old man suffering from myasthenia gravis. Histological examination of the surgically removed thymus showed the presence of several epithelial thymoma-like islands. As controls, 100 thymuses obtained from consecutive necropsies were sampled: 4% of these cases showed epithelial islands. This case is further proof that "microsc...
