Abstract

Two cases of thymomas with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) are presented, highlighting variability in their anatomic location, ambiguity in presentation, indolence of course and unpredictability of response to treatment. Multi-modality approach is necessary for both diagnosis and management of this combination. Duration and side effects of treatment determine the overall prognosis.
