[Changes in the non-neoplastic thymus in myasthenia gravis].
Non-neoplastic thymuses were examined in 63 patients suffering from myasthenia gravis. Germinal centres were found in 61 patients, minute capsular and septal foci consisting of histiocytes and eosinophilic leucocytes were in 27 cases. An opinion was discussed that lesion close to germinal centres could be related to immune reaction after myogenic induction in thymuses from cases of myasthenia gravis.
