Bone marrow necrosis in neuroendocrine tumor of the thymus

Clin Case Rep. 2018 Aug 25;6(10):1970-1971. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1728. eCollection 2018 Oct.

Abstract

The prognosis of patients with marrow necrosis secondary to neoplastic disease (often gastric adenocarcinoma) was found to be extremely poor with a median overall survival (OS) of few months. This case confirms the very poor prognosis and shows an association with a neural endocrine adenocarcinoma of the thymus.

Keywords: adenocarcinoma of the thymus; bone marrow failure; medullary necrosis; myelogram.
