LATE RECURRENCE OF THYMOMA AND MYASTHENIA GRAVIS Case Report

In a case of thymoma associated with myas- thenia gravis, symptoms of relapse appeared 14 years after thymectomy. Tumour tissue from repeat resec- tion showed the same histologic pattern and ane- uploidy as in the original specimen. The case illustrates the necessity of wide surgical exposure to permit maximal thymectomy, though recurrence remains possible.
