Abstract
A 47-year-old man presented with diarrhoea, acquired hypo gammaglobuli naemia and a cutaneous graft-versus-host-like reaction in association with a spindle cell thymoma. Graft-versus-host reactions usually occur following allogeneic transplantation or transfusion of immunocompeten t lymphoid cells but have been described rarely in the context of a th ymoma.
