TI  - Atypical thymic carcinoid and malignant somatostatinoma in type I multiple 
      endocrine neoplasia syndrome: case report.
PG  - 270-2
AB  - Thymic carcinoid and malignant somatostatinoma are both rare, and their 
      concurrent presence in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) has never been 
      reported in the English literature to date. We present a patient with thymic 
      carcinoid and malignant somatostatinoma in association with MEN-1. The patient 
      eventually died of pulmonary aspergillosis and respiratory failure. Autopsy 
      showed a 16 x 10 x 8-cm thymic carcinoid tumor, parathyroid and adrenal gland 
      hyperplasia, and malignant somatostatinoma of the pancreas with a metastatic 
      tumor over the splenic hilum.
