In this case report, a 57-year-old Japanese woman with alopecia areata, associated with myasthenia gravis and thymoma, showed significant improvement after undergoing thymectomy and receiving high doses of glucocorticosteroids.

In this case study, the coexistence of thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis, alopecia areata, and twenty-nail dystrophy in a patient is reported, suggesting thymoma may increase the risk of developing these conditions.

This case report examines a patient with myasthenia gravis, invasive thymoma, and paraneoplastic pemphigus associated with alopecia areata, notably without the usual mucosal involvement.

In this case report, a patient with thymoma was observed to have four co-occurring paraneoplastic autoimmune disorders that improved after thymectomy, suggesting a possible link between thymoma and these conditions.

The researchers reported that non-motor symptoms like taste disorders and alopecia are associated with myasthenia gravis, particularly in severe cases and those linked to thymoma.
