Myasthenia gravis associated with T helper cell lymphoma

James D. Bowen, MD and Pamela Kidd, MD

Department of Medicine (Dr. Bowen), Division of Neurology, and the Department of Pathology (Dr. Kidd), University of Washington, Seattle, WA.

A case of myasthenia gravis (MG) associated with a T helper cell lymphoma is reported. Treatment of the lymphoma led to resolution of the MG. This and other cases of hematologic tumors associated with MG suggest that immunoregulatory abnormalities may underlie the production of antibodies directed against the acetylcholine receptor.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr. Bowen, 1959 N.E. Pacific Avenue, RG-27, Seattle, WA 98195.

Received September 12, 1986. Accepted for publication in final form December 3, 1986.
