Carcinoid tumors of the thymus.
Twenty-five cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the thymus associated with Cushing's syndrome have been reported since 1972.(1) We report two new cases of thymic carcinoid, one of which presented with Cushing's disease. These patients were successfully treated and were asymptomatic at the time of first follow-up.
