Abstract

Thymic carcinoids are rare mediastinal tumours. These are aggressive tumours that often present late and have poor prognosis. Primary surgical treatment is recommended even in metastatic tumours since the role of adjuvant therapy is not well established. We present a case of metastatic thymic carcinoid managed with surgical excision.

摘要

胸腺类癌是罕见的纵隔肿瘤。这些是侵袭性肿瘤，通常出现较晚且预后较差。即使是转移性肿瘤，也建议进行手术治疗，因为辅助治疗的作用尚未明确。我们报告一例通过手术切除治疗的转移性胸腺类癌病例。
