We report a case of cystic atypical carcinoid in the thymus that caused mediastinal bleeding. Atypical thymic carcinoid is a relatively rare disease, and few cases of cystic atypical carcinoid have been reported. There are some reports of anterior mediastinal bleeding caused by thymic tumors or cysts; however, reports on atypical carcinoid-associated bleeding are unavailable. Even if the mediastinal tumor is dominated by a cystic lesion, a more detailed examination should be considered. In addition, physicians should keep in mind that spontaneous bleeding can occur in cystic lesions of the anterior mediastinum.
我们报告一例发生于胸腺的囊性非典型类癌,其导致了纵隔出血。非典型胸腺类癌是一种相对罕见的疾病,囊性非典型类癌的病例报告较少。有一些关于胸腺肿瘤或囊肿引起前纵隔出血的报道;然而,关于非典型类癌相关出血的报道尚不存在。即使纵隔肿瘤以囊性病变为主,也应考虑进行更详细的检查。此外,医生应牢记前纵隔囊性病变可能发生自发性出血。
