| Popis: | Thymoma is the most common neoplasm of the thymus, and early-stage tumors carry an excellent prognosis with 5-year survival rates over 85% with primarily surgical management.1 However, thymoma has a strong association with paraneoplastic syndromes, which do not have the same favorable response to surgery. Paraneoplastic syndromes are found to persist, worsen, or even present in the post-thymectomy setting. We report a case of likely paraneoplastic vasculitis in the setting of thymoma that presented after thymectomy. |
