Abstract
- Atypical bronchopulmonary carcinoid is an uncommon pulmonary tumor, an intermediate form between low grade malignant typical carcinoid and high grade malignant small cell carcinoma which is considered neuroendocrine in origin and may produce various hormones. We describe an asymptomatic middle aged women with no elevated hormone level. Based on bronchoscopic biopsy initial diagnosis of atypical carcinoid with oncocytic change was established. The patient underwent right lower and middle lobe bilobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection. Postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy was performed in 4 weeks.
