抄録

A case of ACTH-producing thymic carcinoid, that is rare, is reported. A 57-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of systemic edema and dyspnea. Hyperglycemia and hypertension were noted. On CT scan, an anterior mediastinal tumor was detected, and endocrinological examination revealed high plasma ACTH and serum cortisol levels. Cusing syndrome was not present. The tumor was totally resected through median sternotomy and diagnosed as ACTH-producing thymic carcinoid on histopathological examination. After resection of the tumor, clinical symptoms disappeared and laboratory data were completely normalized. Tweny cases of ACTH-producing thymic carcinoid, including our case, in Japan are also reviewed.
