Rosai等1972年首次报告胸腺的类癌。Salyer等1976年又报告3例,并复习文献共报告35例。现将我们所见两例报道如下: 病历摘要 例1 严×,男,57岁。一年前开始左眼流泪、浮肿,继之左侧面部肿胀。两月前胸片见前下纵隔有一边界清楚、密度均匀,8×6cm的阴影突入左肺门。经抗癌治疗无效,开胸探查,见胸腔内有一淡红色肿块,约8×10cm,质中等,附着于心包表面。肿块周围未见有肿大淋巴结及肿瘤组织浸润。遂行肿块切除术。 Rosai et al. first reported thymus carcinoid in 1972. Salyer et al. also reported 3 cases in 1976 and reviewed 35 reports. Now we have seen two cases reported as follows: Case summary Example 1 Yan ×, male, 57 years old. One year ago, left eye began to cry and edema, followed by swelling on the left side of the face. Two months before the chest radiograph, the border of the anterior inferior mediastinum had a clear border and a uniform density. A shadow of 8×6 cm protruded into the left hilum. After the anticancer treatment was ineffective, a thoracotomy was explored and a pale red mass was seen in the chest cavity, about 8×10cm, of medium quality, and attached to the surface of the pericardium. There were no enlarged lymph nodes and tumor tissue infiltration around the mass. Mass resection was performed.
