Abstract

Carcinoid tumors are a subgroup of neuroendocrine tumors and they are quite rare. They are usually located in the gastrointestinal tract and the bronchial system (gastrointestinal tract 82%, bronchial system 9%). The second most common localisation of carcinoid tumors is lungs and these comprise 2% of all lung tumors. They are low grade lung tumors that can invade regional lymph nodes. Distant metastases are very rare with a ratio of 5%. Regardless of the carcinoid tumor type, all tumours except those with distant metastases must be resected. Carcinoid tumors are seldom seen in thoracic surgery departments. In this report, we present a case which we operated for an atypical carcinoid tumor as it led to a giant mediastinal tumor metastasis and vena cava superior syndrome. Sixty-two years old man was admitted to our clinic with complaints of chest pain, dyspnea and night fewer. He had a giant metastatic mediastinal carcinoid tumor which caused a vena cava superior syndrome. The patient died eleven days after the diagnostic mediastinoscopy. Although carcinoid tumors are characterized as benign tumors, they may cause giant metastases and these cases have a poor prognosis.

Özet

Karsinoid tümörler, nöroendokrin tümörler grubundadır ve oldukça nadir görülür. Sıklıkla gastrointestinal traktus ve bronş sistemine yerleşirler (G‹S %82, bronş sistemi % 9). Karsinoid tümörler ikinci sıklıkla akciğerlerde görülür ve tüm akciğer tümörlerinin yaklaşık %2’sini oluşturur. Bölgesel lenf nodlarına yayılım gösterebilen düşük dereceli malign tümörlerdir. Uzak metastaz çok nadirdir ve olguların %5’inde görülür. Tipi ne olursa olsun uzak metastaz yapmış olgular dışında mutlaka rezeke edilmelidir. Bu yazıda karsinoid tümör olgularına göğüs cerrahisinde çok az rastlanılmakta olup tanısal amaçlı opere edilen atipik karsinoid tümörlü olgu, mediastendeki dev tümör metastazı ve vena kava superior sendromuna neden olduğu için sunulmuştur. Altmış iki yaşında erkek hasta nefes darlığı, göğüs ağrısı ve gece terlemesi şikayetleri ile servisimize kabul edildi. Olgumuzda karsinoid tümörün mediastene dev metastazı vardı ve vena cava süperior sendromuna sebep olmuştu. Tanısal mediastinoskopi yapılan hasta postoperatif 11. günde exitus oldu. Karsinoid tümörler benign karakterde olmalarına rağmen, mediastene dev boyutlara ulaşabilen metastaz yapabilirler. Bu durumlarda prognoz kötüleşir.
