초록
Paraneoplatic pemphigus vularis associated with thymoma is an autoimmune disease to epithelial cell in Hassall’s corpuscle, thymus medulla and myasthenia gravis is to myoid cell in thymus cortex. Because most thymic tumor is cortex tumor, myoid cell may exposed to immune system earlier than epithelial cell and myasthenia gravis may be proceeding to pemphigus. Forty-four year old woman developed pemphigus vulgaris and myasthenia gravis simultaneously. After herbal medication, myasthenia gravis and pemphigus were worsened together. Thymoma was discovered and its WHO grade was B2. We hypothesize that in high grade thymoma, two type of different antigen could present to autoimmune mechanism simultaneously. And they could be processed together.
Abstract
Paraneoplatic pemphigus vularis associated with thymoma is an autoimmune disease to epithelial cell in Hassall’s corpuscle, thymus medulla and myasthenia gravis is to myoid cell in thymus cortex. Because most thymic tumor is cortex tumor, myoid cell may exposed to immune system earlier than epithelial cell and myasthenia gravis may be proceeding to pemphigus. Forty-four year old woman developed pemphigus vulgaris and myasthenia gravis simultaneously. After herbal medication, myasthenia gravis and pemphigus were worsened together. Thymoma was discovered and its WHO grade was B2. We hypothesize that in high grade thymoma, two type of different antigen could present to autoimmune mechanism simultaneously. And they could be processed together.
