ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder caused by the formation of autoantibodies directed against the synapses of neuromuscular junction. It is most commonly associated with other non-thymomatous lesions. Castleman disease is one of them, which is a benign lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain origin. Only eight cases of myasthenia gravis associated with Castleman disease have been described so far. Here, we take the opportunity to describe a case of myasthenia gravis with Castleman disease simulating thymoma clinically and radiologically along with review of literature of this rare association. Patient developed myasthenic crisis in the immediate post-operative period which is more common in myasthenia gravis with Castleman disease rather than myasthenia gravis with thymoma.
