Mycophenolate mofetil (MM), an immunosuppressant used after organ transplantation, is also used for treatment of autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG). A patient with generalized MG was effectively managed with MM but developed CNS lymphoma after 3 years of treatment. Primary CNS lymphoma regressed on withdrawal of MM. Despite minimal short-term side effects and apparent efficacy, chronic treatment of MG with MM may be associated with increased risk of lymphoproliferative disorders.
霉酚酸酯(MM)是一种用于器官移植后免疫抑制的药物,也用于治疗自身免疫性重症肌无力(MG)。一名全身性MG患者使用MM治疗有效,但在治疗3年后发生了中枢神经系统淋巴瘤。停用MM后原发性中枢神经系统淋巴瘤消退。尽管MM短期副作用极小且疗效明显,但长期用MM治疗MG可能会增加淋巴增殖性疾病的风险。
