Thymomas are associated with various autoimmune disorders in adults, most commonly with myasthenia gravis (MG). In MG antibodies developed against acetylcholine (ACh) receptors, resulting weakness of muscle after repeated use and recovery following a period of rest. However, MG due to thymoma is extremely rare in pediatric age group. We report an infant with MG due to invasive thymoma.
胸腺瘤与成人的各种自身免疫性疾病相关,最常见的是重症肌无力(MG)。在 MG 中,针对乙酰胆碱(ACh)受体的抗体导致肌肉在重复使用后出现无力,在一段时间的休息后恢复。然而,在儿科年龄段,由于胸腺瘤导致的 MG 极其罕见。我们报告了一例由侵袭性胸腺瘤引起的婴儿 MG。
