Familial inheritance of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is uncommon. We report two siblings with identical bilateral diaphragmatic defects.
Thymomas are often associated with a variety of autoimmune disorders including various cytopenias. Rare cases have been associated with pancytopenia. We describe a patient with an invasive thymoma treated with thymectomy and subsequent radiation therapy. A few months later, rapidly progressing pancytopenia developed. Treatment with antibiotics, immunoglobulin, high-dose steroids and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) had no effect, and the patient died within two months of overwhelming septicaemia complicated with intracranial haemorrhage. We review the literature and discuss therapies.
