pubmed:abstractText
A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of recurrent pulmonary infections that began three years previously. Laboratory data showed hypogammaglobulinemia and a chest computed tomogram showed diffuse bilateral micronodular shadows and an anterior mediastinal tumor. Immunodeficiency with thymoma (Good's syndrome) was diagnosed. After undergoing a thymectomy, he received intravenous gamma-globulin injections once a month for prophylaxis. Good's syndrome occurs rarely in Japan. A solid tumor-like shadow is not necessarily observed in routine chest X-ray studies, and hypogammaglobulinemia is one sign of this syndrome. The hypogammaglobulinemia of Good's syndrome should be carefully differentiated from that of other immunodeficiency diseases such as common variable immunodeficiency, the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and multiple myeloma (non-secretory type).
