Two cases are presented in which aplastic anemia was associated with thymus tumors. In Case 1 the patient had a pancytopenic aplastic anemia and was treated with ACTH. The marrow showed regeneration at necropsy. The thymoma in this case was unusual as there was thymic regression with fat replacement which may have been related to ACTH. Case 2 was initially of a pure red cell anemia with but little tendency to produce a leucocytosis in response to infection and was found at necropsy to have a. lymphoepithelioma of the thymus. Previously reported cases are reviewed and the role of ACTH in treatment is discussed.
