title: [Carcinoid tumor in the anterior mediastinum. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: The Carcinoide tumors are infrequent. The come from neuroendocrine argentafine cells, probably related to cells of the APUD system. They are rarely found in the mediastinum. We are reporting a case, and bringing forward some biological, epidemiological and clinical characteristics. We also emphasize over the diagnosis and treatment, and the basics to evaluate the prognosis.
