Medical history. The patient, a 28-year-old woman, was found to be with the drooping left eyelid half a year ago, but did not receive special treatment. A few months later, the symptom gradually worsened and then the patient visited a local hospital. Chest CT showed thymic hyperplasia in the anterior mediastinum. The diagnosis was “thymic hyperplasia accompanied with myasthenia gravis”. She was then orally administered with pyridostigmine bromide 60 mg tid, and the symptoms were controlled. Then, she visited our hospital for further management. The patient’s general condition was acceptable, and there were no symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing or swallowing, or fatigue.
