Hypogammaglobulinémie acquise associée au thymome: le syndrome de Good

Good syndrome (GS) is defined as the association between thymoma and immune deficiency. It is often complicated by broncho-pulmonary bacterial infections and rhinosinusitis. This disease accounts for only 5% of all parathymic syndromes. These recurrent respiratory infections can cause bronchiectasis...

Sumario:Good syndrome (GS) is defined as the association between thymoma and immune deficiency. It is often complicated by broncho-pulmonary bacterial infections and rhinosinusitis. This disease accounts for only 5% of all parathymic syndromes. These recurrent respiratory infections can cause bronchiectasis associated with Good syndrome. We report the case of a 52-year old woman hospitalized for non resolutive infectious pneumonitis. Chest CT scan showed bronchiectasis associated with thymoma confirmed by biopsy. The discovery of hypogammaglobulinemia allowed the diagnosis of Good syndrome.
