ABSTRACT
Thymic carcinoid tumor associated with Cushing's syndrome is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. Thymic carcinoid with Cushing's syndrome caused by CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone) production is even rarer. We report a 58-year-old woman with a huge anterior mediastinal mass. Five months after thymectomy the patient was readmitted with symptoms of generalized edema and dyspnea. Recurrence and metastases were discovered and Cushing's syndrome diagnosed.
