The disorder is characterized by graft-versus-host disease-like pathology affecting the skin, gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and liver, and is usually associated with a poor outcome. We document a case of TAMA with exclusive GIT involvement which included the stomach, small and large bowel, presenting in a 66-year-old male patient 5 years after complete resection of a type B2 thymoma. A brief review is provided of this scarce syndrome, the GIT pathology described in the 21 TAMA cases reported to date, and the unique characteristics of patients with exclusive GIT involvement by this acquired autoimmune disorder.en© Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018.
