Case 1 We report two cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in myasthenia gravis(MG) patients who had undergone thymectomy. SLE developed in the patients 3months or 13 yr after thymectomy, and polyarthritis was the main clinical manifes-tationof SLE. Both patients fulfilled at least four of the revised criteria for the clas-sificationof SLE. In this report, we describe two postthymectomy lupus patients and perform a comparative review of previous cases.
