Thymoma, a rare epithelial neoplasm, is the most common anterior-superior mediastinal tumour. Thymoma can occur sporadically or in association with other conditions, such as myasthenia gravis, pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), and hypogammaglobulinemia. Only 5% of thymoma cases develop PRCA; however, 10–50% of patients presenting with PRCA have an associated spindle cell type thymoma. Thymoma complicated by PRCA is associated with a poor outcome. We report the case of a 38-year-old female who presented with chest pain, and was diagnosed with an anterior mediastinal mass. A thymectomy was performed, and histopathological examination revealed mixed thymoma; two months later, the patient developed PRCA. The present case reinforces the need for clinicians to be vigilant with thymoma patients, even following thymectomy.

The authors have described a case with pure red cell aplasia (P.R.C.A.) caused by the administration of diphenylhydantoin after head injury. P.R.C.A. associated with diphenylhydantoin is very rare and easily treated with a discontinuation of diphenylhydantoin & steroids.

Thymomas are associated with different paraneoplastic syndromes, with the most clinically important association being with myasthenia gravis, hypogammaglobulinemia, and pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). The optimal therapy for PRCA that complicates a thymoma is unknown, given the rarity of the clinical situation. It has been suggested that remission following surgery alone is uncommon and most patients will require some other form of therapy. We report a case of PRCA with a thymoma in a 59-year-old man who remained in complete remission of the PRCA after surgical resection of the thymoma.

Pregnancy is normally a state of erythroid hyperplasia. Increased erythropoiesis during pregnancy is controlled by erythropoietin, which is augmented by the action of placental lactogen and inhibited by high levels of estrogen. We described a case of a patient with pure red cell aplasia during pregnancy that resolved completely in the postpartum period.
