Abstract
It has long been recognised that autoimmunity may be associated with particular tumours, and the regular co-occurrence of myasthenia gravis (MG) with thymoma is well established. In this brief review we will summarise some of the evidence for thymoma-associated antibodies in myasthenia, and in other neurological disorders, and discuss the possible relationship between the tumour, these antibodies and the initiation of the disease.
