Rare Giant Posterior Mediastinal Carcinoid Tumor | Successful Surgery in 48-Year-Old Man 🔍 This video presents a rare case of a primary posterior mediastinal carcinoid tumor-a neuroendocrine neoplasm (Grade II atypical carcinoid) unrelated to the thymus. ✔ Case Highlights: Patient: 48-year-old male with dyspnea, hoarseness, and weight loss Imaging: CT revealed a giant left paravertebral mass compressing thoracic structures Treatment: Successful thoracotomy resection with no postoperative complications Pathology: Confirmed atypical carcinoid (Grade II) via immunohistochemistry ✔ Key Takeaways for Surgeons & Oncologists: Posterior mediastinal carcinoids are extremely rare but must be considered in differential diagnoses. Surgical resection is often curative for localized tumors. Immunohistochemistry (synaptophysin/chromogranin positive) is critical for diagnosis. 📌 Why This Matters: Highlights diagnostic challenges of neuroendocrine tumors in atypical locations Reinforces the role of multidisciplinary teamwork (radiology, pathology, surgery) ------------------------------------------------------- A Rare Case of Primary Mediastinal Carcinoid Tumour Presenting with Hoarseness Layman Abstract : Carcinoid tumors are rare in the chest area, especially when they appear in the back part of the chest (posterior mediastinum) and are not linked to the thymus gland. These types of tumors can be difficult to diagnose and treat. This report describes a rare case of a 48-year-old man who had trouble breathing, a hoarse voice, and weight loss. Tests showed he had a large tumor pressing on his chest organs, coming from the area near his spine. Surgeons successfully removed the tumor through chest surgery. Lab tests confirmed it was a type of slow-growing cancer called an atypical carcinoid tumor. The patient recovered well after surgery with no problems. This case shows how important it is to catch these rare tumors early and treat them with surgery when possible.
