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.

Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell

The term diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) may be used to describe a clinico-pathological syndrome, as well as an incidental finding on histological examination, although there are obvious differences between these two scenarios. According to the World Health Organization, the definition of DIPNECH is purely histological. However, DIPNECH encompasses symptomatic patients with airway disease, as well as asymptomatic patients with neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia associated with multiple tumourlets/carcinoid tumours. DIPNECH is also considered a pre-neoplastic lesion in the spectrum of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours, because it is commonly found in patients with peripheral carcinoid tumours.In this review, we summarise clinical, physiological, radiological and histological features of DIPNECH and critically discuss recently proposed diagnostic criteria. In addition, we propose that the term “DIPNECH syndrome” be used to indicate a sufficiently distinct patient subgroup characterised by respiratory symptoms, airflow obstruction, mosaic attenuation with air trapping on chest imaging and constrictive obliterative bronchiolitis, often with nodular proliferation of neuroendocrine cells with/without tumourlets/carcinoid tumours on histology. Surgical lung biopsy is the diagnostic gold standard. However, in the appropriate clinical and radiological setting, transbronchial lung biopsy may also allow a confident diagnosis of DIPNECH syndrome.
