We present the case of a 57-year-old man with ataxia and clinical and radiological features of cerebellar degeneration. A computed tomography showed a mediastinal mass. The patient was diagnosed of thymic carcinoma. paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration is an unfrequent disorder, and its association with thymic carcinoma is very rare.
