Abstract
We report a 43-year-old man suffering from myasthenia gravis with inva sive thymoma accompanied with alopecia areata and dry mouth. These com plications are extremely rare and the pathogenetic etiology of these c omplications was thought to depend on a generalized immunological dist urbance.
