Good's syndrome is associated with thymoma and acquired immunodeficiency. A 54-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of cough. Chest imaging revealed diffuse nodular shadows and anterior mediastinal mass. ⋯ The lung nodules markedly regressed after immunoglobulin therapy. The mediastinal mass and remaining nodule were surgically resected and diagnosed as a type AB thymoma and a necrotizing epithelioid granuloma with T lymphocyte-dominant alveolitis, respectively. The overall appearances of these lesions were mostly in line with the spectrum of granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease associated with Good's syndrome.
