Abstract

Thyomas are benign or malignant lymphoepitelial tumors often associated with parathymic syndromes. A 74-year-old subject developed a recurrent thyoma over 15 year with bronchial dilatations and repeated bronchopulmonary and sinus infections. This clinical presentation suggests Good's syndrome which combines thyoma, bronchial dilatations and hypogammaglobulinemia.
