| Popis: |
We present a rare case of NUT midline carcinoma of the thorax in a 7-year-old-male who presented with nonspecific abdominal pain. The patient was initially evaluated with an abdominal ultrasound, which was negative, followed by an abdominopelvic CT that demonstrated a partially visualized infiltrative mediastinal mass. Subsequent, chest CT showed a large, aggressive appearing heterogenous middle mediastinal mass with pulmonary parenchyma, hilar, and posterior mediastinal invasion. Given its epicenter in the middle mediastinum and its irregular and invasive appearance, the primary consideration was NUT midline carcinoma, subsequently confirmed on biopsy. |
