Imaging findings
Anterior mediastinal mass consistent with a B-type thymoma, which was subsequently resected. Follow-up imaging showed left hemidiaphragm paralysis.

Pure red cell aplasia is a known paraneoplastic syndrome associated with thymoma. Interestingly, this case highlights that the resection of the tumor itself may, in rare instances, incite an autoimmune response leading to the condition.
