  • Title: Acquired myasthenia gravis in a cat with thymoma.
    Author: Scott-Moncrieff JC, Cook JR, Lantz GC.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1990 Apr 15; 196(8):1291-3. PubMed ID: 2332378.
    Abstract:
    A 4-year-old castrated Abyssinian cat was evaluated for profound neuromuscular weakness. Results of electromyography and repetitive nerve stimulation tests were normal. Thoracic radiography revealed a cranial mediastinal mass, which was excised and identified as a thymoma. Serum acetylcholine receptor antibodies were detected at high concentration, supporting a diagnosis of acquired myasthenia gravis. Clinical signs of disease responded to treatment with pyridostigmine and corticosteroids.
