Abstract
|
|
|
Thymic carcinoids develop from cells of neural crest origin that differentiate into
Kultschitrky cells. They can undergo malignant change to become carcinoid humors. The
thymic carcinoids are confirmed by the demonstration of argentaffin and argyrophil
staining and neuro-excretory granules on electron microscope. About one third to one
half of thymic carcinoids have been associated with paraneoplastic syndrome.
This is a case report of thymic carcinoid without endocrine disorder in a 36-year old
male patient. This tumor mass was located in anterior mediastinum, and was reseated.
