摘要：

Thymoma is a rare tumor characterized by an association with autoimmune diseases. Immunological abnormalities are increasingly being recognized in thymoma patients and are the cause of a peculiar susceptibility to infections. The authors present the clinical history of a thymoma patient affected by fatal immunodeficiency.
