A very rare case of thymoma-associated PRCA during pregnancy was diagnosed without any subjective symptoms and was expectantly managed, resulting in a good prognosis. Although bone marrow aspiration during pregnancy is an invasive test, it is important to confirm the diagnosis. Conservative management with blood transfusion was possible for early-stage thymoma-associated PRCA during pregnancy. Active surveys, including MRI, for PRCA during pregnancy led to the detection of thymoma at an early stage and the achievement of a preferable pregnancy outcome.
