Thymolipomatous myasthenia gravis outcomes following thymectomy: a systematic review.

Objectives: Our goal was to evaluate the effect of thymectomy on the progression of thymolipomatous myasthenia gravis.

Methods: An electronic search performed across PubMed, MEDLINE and Web of Science databases included all article types. We included 15 series comprising 36 cases that met specific criteria, including case reports or case series related to thymolipoma with a myasthenia gravis association, where thymectomy was cited as the primary intervention with postoperative reporting of the prognosis and articles written in the English language.
