Overview

Thymic carcinoid tumors are rare and difficult to detect with conventional chest X-rays, often being discovered at an advanced stage. While pre-operative pathological diagnosis is challenging, percutaneous needle biopsy with a Surecut needle is possible. Median sternotomy is preferred over thoracotomy due to the necessity of thymectomy and lymph node dissection.

The reasons for the advanced stage of these cases remain unclear.
