  • Title: A case of thymoma-associated autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.
    Author: Rennenberg RJ, Pauwels P, Vlasveld LT.
    Journal: Neth J Med; 1997 Mar; 50(3):110-4. PubMed ID: 9121594.
    Abstract:
    A 50-year-old female presented with severe Coombs-positive haemolytic anaemia. Chest roentgenogram revealed a right-sided paracardial mass in the anterior mediastinum that was proven to be a thymoma. The patient was treated with oral prednisone (1 mg/kg/day) and subsequent thymectomy. Haemolysis did not return although the direct Coombs test remained weakly positive. In reviewing the literature 15 additional cases of thymoma-associated autoimmune haemolytic anaemia were identified.
