Abstract
This article is as a brief commentary to another manuscript which recently has been published in an internal medicine journal (La revue de medecine interne 2017) about thymoma and autoimmune diseases. The present article gives explanation about the increased risk of appearance of SLE as an autoimmune disease after removing the thmus from the body. The probable responsible pathologic mechanisms will be clarified and also, few clinical characteristics which may predict SLE after thymectomy will be pointed out. However, these features should be evaluated in future research studies.
