Abstract
A 48-year-old man with autoimmune Addison disease developed the following paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNNS): limbic encephalitis, opsoclonus/myoclonus, and sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathies. An anterior mediastinal mass detected on a chest computed tomographic scan was found on resection to be a noninvasive lymphocytic thymoma. The PNNS went into remission 1 year after the thymectomy. This is the first case of thymoma associated with autoimmune Addison disease and PNNS to be described in the literature.
