    Author: O'Sullivan SS, Mullins GM, Neligan A, McNamara B, Galvin RJ.
    Journal: Clin Neurol Neurosurg; 2007 May; 109(4):374-5. PubMed ID: 17239529.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient with the diagnoses of acquired neuromyotonia, cutaneous lupus erythematosus and alopecia areata, occurring many years after a thymectomy for myasthenia gravis associated with a thymoma. We review the current literature on autoimmune conditions associated with myasthenia gravis and thymectomy. To our knowledge, this combination of multiple autoimmune conditions has not been reported previously.
