Résumé

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare hematological complication associated with thymoma. Remission of PRCA occurs after thymectomy but can reappear after a latency period even without recurrence of thymoma. We report a case and we have reviewed the literature of thymoma associated with PRCA. Because of less number of reported cases, there have been no clinical trials investigating the immunosuppression regimen following thymectomy for thymoma associated with PRCA. After reviewing the literature, we came to a conclusion that thymectomy followed by immumosuppression with the cyclosporin-containing regimen is currently the most effective treatment.
