Abstract

We present a case of 39-year-old woman with thymoma complaining of dysgeusia. This patient had suffered from dysgeusia for the previous 6 months. Thymectomy with the thymoma was performed, and her dysgeusia was improved within 6 months after the operation. The anti-acetylcholine-receptor antibody was reduced from 0.9 nmol/l to 0.4 nmol/l (normal: below 0.6 nmol/l) by the surgical intervention. This case suggested that symptoms of dysgeusia can be associated with myasthenic status.
