  • Title: Thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis without acetylcholine receptor antibodies.
    Author: Rigamonti A, Lauria G, Piamarta F, Fiumani A, Agostoni E.
    Journal: J Neurol Sci; 2011 Mar 15; 302(1-2):112-3. PubMed ID: 21236448.
    Abstract:
    Patients with myasthenia gravis and thymoma usually present antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (AchR-Ab). Only two cases of thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis without AchR-Ab have been previously reported. We describe a case of seronegative thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis as a further evidence of the variability of myasthenia gravis in terms of antibody profile and thymic pathological findings.
