A 47-year-old woman was diagnosed with invasive thymoma 13 years ago. She had undergone repeated surgeries, as well as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy was discontinued after the patient developed normocytic anemia, which was unresponsive to repeated blood transfusions. Bone marrow biopsy results revealed pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). Cyclosporine treatment led to improvement in PRCA; however, the patient died 3 years later from an invasive pneumococcal infection. The onset of thymoma-associated PRCA remains unpredictable, and a significant delay may occur between the diagnosis of the two conditions.
一名47岁女性13年前被诊断为侵袭性胸腺瘤。她接受了多次手术以及化疗和放疗。在患者出现正细胞性贫血且反复输血无效后,化疗停止。骨髓活检结果显示为纯红细胞再生障碍性贫血(PRCA)。环孢素治疗使PRCA有所改善;然而,患者3年后死于侵袭性肺炎球菌感染。胸腺瘤相关PRCA的发病仍然不可预测,两种疾病诊断之间可能会出现显著延迟。
