Carcinoid tumours of the thymus are rare. The case of a 57-year-old asymptomatic man with a carcinoid tumour of the thymus, who showed a widened mediastinum by chest x-ray, is presented. Fine needle aspiration suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed by biopsy.

AbstractObjective:We present the first reported case of primary carcinoid tumour of the nasal septum.Method:Case report of our experience of a carcinoid tumour of the nasal septum. We discuss our clinical, radiological and pathological findings.Result:An 83-year-old woman presented with a history of left-sided nasal blockage. Clinical examination showed a unilateral, left-sided nasal polyp. Further imaging and histological analysis confirmed this to be a carcinoid tumour. Carcinoid tumours outside the gastrointestinal tract are rare. There have been reports of carcinoid tumours in the head and neck region, but no published cases occurring in the nasal septum. Our management involved wide surgical resection with regular follow up to monitor for recurrence and for the development of carcinoid syndrome. Four years from initial presentation, the patient remained free of the primary tumour and had displayed no signs or symptoms suggestive of carcinoid syndrome.Conclusion:To the authors' best knowledge, and after searching the world literature, the presented case represents the first report of primary carcinoid tumour of the nasal septum. Despite its rarity, this tumour should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis, as timely recognition and intervention are critical for successful treatment.
