AB  - BACKGROUND: Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) is divided into MEN type 1 (MEN-1) 
      and MEN type 2 (MEN-2). MEN-1 may be associated with thymic carcinoid tumors. We 
      present a case of the surgical removal of a thymic carcinoid associated with 
      MEN-1 via a single-incision port RATS. CASE PRESENTATION: A 39-year-old male 
      patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) who had an anterior 
      mediastinal mass was referred to our hospital. The patient had undergone total 
      parathyroidectomy and auto-transplantation of a partial parathyroid for 
      hyperparathyroidism 6 years ago. Chest computed tomography revealed an isolated 
      anterior mediastinal mass on the thymic gland with a maximum diameter measuring 
      22 mm. Thymic carcinoid tumor is classified as MEN-1 and has a poor prognosis, so 
      we decided to remove the tumor. Single-incision port RATS was performed, and 
      thymic carcinoid was confirmed in pathology. CONCLUSIONS: This report 
      demonstrates that thymic carcinoid tumor removal is feasible and easy to perform 
      via single-incision port RATS.
