Abstract
Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) carcinoma is an extremely rare and undifferentiated malignancy characterized by the rearrangement of NUT gene (NUTM1, Nuclear Protein in Testis). NUT carcinoma is a challenging disease which is difficult to diagnose and treat. Due to its rarity, lack of experience and need of specific molecular study it can be un/misdiagnosed. Therefore, NUT carcinoma should be included in differential diagnosis of poorly differentiated/undifferentiated and rapidly progressive malignancy in children and young adults, occurring in the head, neck or thorax. We report a case of NUT carcinoma presented with pleural effusion in adulthood.
