摘要:
Background: Thymoma is a malignant tumor originating from the thymic epithelium and can be associated with over 100 paraneoplastic syndromes (PNSs). Due to the low incidence of thymoma and the relative rarity of alopecia areata (AA) as an associated autoimmune disease, patients with thymoma combined with AA are relatively uncommon in clinical practice. As a result, the clinicopathological features and pathogenesis of such patients have been rarely investigated. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of thymoma patients who underwent surgical treatment at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Beijing Tongren Hospital from August 2014 to July 2019, with a focus on the clinicopathological features of thymoma patients with AA. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to create a 1:5 matched comparison group with thymoma patients without AA. Results: A total of 428 thymoma patients were included, among which 9 had AA. Using PSM, we matched 45 control patients without AA based on age and gender. The analysis revealed that thymoma patients with AA had a significantly higher proportion of myasthenia gravis (MG) [100.00% (9/9) vs. 66.67% (30/45), p = 0.049], although there were no significant differences between the AChR antibodies, Titin antibodies, MG severity, and the incidence of postoperative myasthenic crisis. However, the proportion of thymoma patients with AA who also had other PNSs besides MG was significantly higher [88.89% (8/9) vs. 6.67% (3/45), p < 0.001]. Additionally, CD4(+)/CD8(+) T-cell inversion in the serum was observed at a much higher rate in thymoma patients with AA [100.00% (9/9) vs. 24.44% (11/45), p < 0.001]. Conclusions: We hypothesize that the pathogenesis of thymoma with AA differs from that of thymoma with MG, though there may be a correlation. The etiology of thymoma with AA may be attributed to abnormal autoimmune CD8(+) T lymphocytes produced by the thymoma, which can also lead to other cytotoxic T-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
