Abstract EN
The present report describes the case of a woman diagnosed with an adrenocorticotropic hormone- (ACTH-) secreting thymic carcinoid associated with Cushing’s syndrome.
Treatment consisted of tumour resection and 131-I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) therapy.
In spite of her iatrogenic menopausal state she twice became pregnant and delivered two healthy babies but developed recurrences during both pregnancies.
The last recurrence presented as a primary breast cancer.
Despite poor prognosis our patient survived for eleven years.
To our knowledge this is the first report of successful pregnancy and delivery in a patient with a thymic carcinoid.
