Abstract

|
|
Pure red cell aplasia is a rare disease in Korea and charactrized by confined to a failure of erythropoiesis without an equivalent depression of leukocytes or platelets. This paper presented a, case of pure red cell anemia associated with thymoma in a 56 year old man.
Laboratory examination showed that hemoglobin and hematocrit were very low but leukocytes and platelets counts were normal.
The peripheral smear showed a characteristic normochromic, normocytic anemia. In the bone marrow the red´ell precursors were decreased(meyeloid : erythroid ratio of 60 : 1).
Pathological finding of thymoma was encapsulated spindle-cell tumor.
