Abstract

Abstract: Association between thymoma and pure red cell aplasia is already well‐documented in literature whereas acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia is rarely reported. In this case, even with the addition of eltrombopag to standard immunosuppression, the cytopenias did not improve, probably due to the lack of surgical resection of the tumor.
