Patients with myasthenia gravis and thymoma usually present antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (AchR-Ab). Only two cases of thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis without AchR-Ab have been previously reported. We describe a case of seronegative thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis as a further evidence of the variability of myasthenia gravis in terms of antibody profile and thymic pathological findings.

Abstract
Patients with myasthenia gravis and thymoma usually present antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (AchR-Ab). Only two cases of thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis without AchR-Ab have been previously reported. We describe a case of seronegative thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis as a further evidence of the variability of myasthenia gravis in terms of antibody profile and thymic pathological findings.
