The presented case is a case of anterior mediastinal tumour with marked anemia. On histopathologic and hematological examinations, it proved to be a case of thymoma along with pure red cell aplasia. High index of suspicion, bone marrow examination, radiological including CT scan examination, total thymectomy after preparation with repeated blood transfusion remains the mainstay of treatment. Prolonged corticosteroid therapy leads to remission for upto ten months after operative intervention.
