Antibodies to acetylcholine receptor in patients with thymoma but without myasthenia gravis
Neurology.
1980 Feb.
Abstract
Antibodies to acetylcholine receptor were found in 3 of 11 patients with a thymoma removed by operation but without myasthenia gravis. Because masthenia gravis may appear after removal of the thymoma, detection of antiacetylcholine receptor antibodies may have predictive value.
