Abstract
The report presents a clinical case of partial erythrocyte aplasia that developed as an autoimmune syndrome of giant thymoma. Manifestation of the disease included persistent and progressive aplasia of the erythrocyte lineage of the bone marrow against the background of long-term growth of the anterior mediastinal thymoma. The reason for surgical treatment was the phenomena of compression syndrome, complicating the patient's eating and breathing. Despite the radical removal of the tumor and improvement of the general condition of the patient, remission of erythrocyte aplasia was not achieved. Literature data demonstrating pathogenetic features of the course of a rare thymus-associated autoimmune syndrome, including the features of postoperative support, are presented.
