  • Title: Dermatomyositis associated with thymoma: A case report and literature review.
    Author: Yıldırım F, Mutlu MY, İçaçan OC, Bes C.
    Journal: Clin Ter; 2023; 174(2):115-120. PubMed ID: 36920126.
    Abstract:
    Thymoma can present with paraneoplastic-autoimmune neuro-muscular disorders, including polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and granulomatous myositis. Rarely, concomitant subclinical myasthenia gravis (MG) can be a diagnostic dilemma and cause deleterious outcomes regarding missed or delayed diagnosis. We report a Turkish patient presented with thymoma associated dermatomyositis and positive acetylcholine receptor antibody without evident MG clinic.
