Thymomas are tumours frequently associated with autoinmune manifestations or immunodeficiencies like Good syndrome. In rare cases, pure white cells aplasia (PWCA) has been described in association with thymomas. PWCA is characterized by agranulocytosis of autoinmune background primary refractory to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). It is necessary to use inmunosupressor drugs.
