Thymoma is a rare neoplasm originating from thymic epithelial cells. It is associated with paraneoplastic syndromes and a severe form of immunodeficiency. Kidney involvement is rare.

Numerous comorbidities made specific treatment impossible and the patient died one year after the diagnosis of thymoma.
