title: Autoimmune retinopathy in benign thymoma after good syndrome-associated cytomegalovirus retinitis.
abstract: We report a case of anti-40kDa protein autoimmune retinopathy developing 9 years after thymoma excision on a background of Good Syndrome-associated cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis that suggests a separate pathogenetic pathway from that of previously reported thymoma-associated autoimmune retinopathies.
