Article Abstract:

The case of a 51-year-old woman is discussed who initially was hospitalized for shortness of breath that became progressively worse and worse. She was found to be anemic and a chest X-ray and CT scan showed a mass in her upper chest in an area called the mediastinum. She was ultimately diagnosed with a tumor called a thymoma and also with pure red-cell aplasia.
