Thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis without acetylcholine receptor antibodies / R. Andrea, G. LAURIA PINTER, P. Francesca, F. Anna, A. Elio. - In: JOURNAL OF THE NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES. - ISSN 0022-510X. - 302:1-2(2011), pp. 112-113. [10.1016/j.jns.2010.12.013]
Abstract:
Patients with myasthenia gravis and thymoma usually present antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (AchR-Ab). Only two cases of thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis without AchR-Ab have been previously reported. We describe a case of seronegative thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis as a further evidence of the variability of myasthenia gravis in terms of antibody profile and thymic pathological findings.
