title: Myasthenia gravis complicated with lung cancer and middle mediastinal thymoma.
abstract: Myasthenia gravis complicated by lung cancer is rare, and the association between myasthenia gravis and lung cancer is unclear. Thymoma located in the middle mediastinum is very rare. We describe a case of myasthenia gravis complicated with lung cancer and middle mediastinal thymoma in a 69-year-old woman.
