Abstract

One variant of thymic carcinoid has prominent mucinous stroma first reported in 1995. We describe such a case characterized by abundant stromal mucin resulting in a histologic picture resembling of metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma. This variant seems to behave in an aggressive fashion and should be under the differential diagnoses of mediastinal neoplasm with prominent mucin production.

摘要

胸腺类癌的一种变异型具有显著的黏液性间质，于1995年首次报道。我们描述了这样一例病例，其特征为间质黏液丰富，导致组织学表现类似于转移性黏液腺癌。这种变异型似乎具有侵袭性，在鉴别诊断产生大量黏液的纵隔肿瘤时应予以考虑。
