Neuroendocrine Tumours of the Thymus: A Report of Four Cases

#1547

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours of the thymus (thymic carcinoids) are a rare group of malignancies with a reported incidence of about 1 in 5 million. Over a ten year period in our institution, covering a population of 3.5 million, there had only been two confirmed cases.

Aim(s): Within the past 12 months four cases have presented and have demonstrated many of the classical features associated with these rare neoplasms. In the presentation of our case series we will explore differences in the presenting features of thymic carcinoid and illustrate some of the difficulties surrounding diagnosis and management along with an up-to-date review of the literature.
