“…Atypical carcinoid neoplasms possess more malignant potential than typical carcinoids, with a greater propensity to nodal and distant metastases [3]. Eighty-five percent of carcinoid tumors are located centrally within the lung: 10% arise from the mainstem bronchi, and 75% from the lobar bronchi [1,[4][5][6]. However, the larger studies describing this central predilection of pulmonary carcinoid tumors pre-date the widespread availability of MDCT [1].…”

In our series, primary pulmonary carcinoid tumors presenting as peripheral SPNs were more common than central endobronchial lesions in contrast to the published literature. The CT features of peripheral carcinoid tumors presenting as SPNs that suggest the diagnosis include lobulated nodules of high attenuation on contrast-enhanced CT; nodules that densely enhance with contrast administration; the presence of calcification; subsegmental airway involvement on thin-section analysis; and nodules associated with distal hyperlucency, bronchiectasis, or atelectasis.

“…The carcinoid syndrome with flushing, hypotension, and diarrhea was reported to be less than 4% of cases [20], and it did not occur in our patient series. In a study by Feldman [21] 111 (50%) of 220 patients with carcinoid tumors disclosed a serotonin overproduction, and 54 of them were BC.…”

“…The peripheral site or extension of the tumor, the parenchymal destruc tion (atelectasis, bronchiectasis, pneumonitis, obstructive emphysema) caused a long delay in tumor evolution [13,16], pulmonary parenchymal resections, with lobectomy being more common (55%), are performed [20,25]. Peri operative mortality is about 1 % [ 18,31 ] and morbidity is low (about 10% [ 18]).…”

This study investigated 22 patients with histologically proven primary bronchial carcinoids and in particular the relationship between assessment parameters and survival. In each patient, age, sex, smoking habits, mode of presentation, results of diagnostic investigations, methods of treatment and pathological examination of resected specimens were recorded. Follow-up was possible in all patients for at least 5 years. Patients with atypical carcinoids were 10 years older than patients with typical ones. Eleven patients were smokers, all the patients with atypical and 4 patients with typical carcinoid. The most common presenting mode was pneumonia. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was diagnostic in 11 cases. The survival rate for patients with typical carcinoid was 100%, while it was 57% in patients with atypical carcinoids. Patients with limited disease had a survival of 100%, while in stage III/IV patients showed a lower survival rate (50%). In conclusion, carcinoid tumors of the lung are tumors showing a good prognosis. Five-year survival indicated a significant difference between typical and atypical carcinoids and between limited and extensive disease. A precise staging is recommended for a better treatment and follow-up.

“…Surgical resection is the treatment of choice, with an excellent ten year survival post-surgery (up to 90%). 4 Carcinoid tumors may show calcification and/or ossification, but massive ossification is rare. 5 We report a case of a middle aged male with an atypical bronchial carcinoid with massive ossification, who was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine neoplasm preoperatively and underwent surgical resection of the tumor…”

Case Report AbstractWe report a case of a 47-year-old male with unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, fever, chronic cough, and weight loss of over 12 pounds over a 3 months period. Chest x-ray revealed complete opacification of the right hemithorax with collapse of the right middle and lower lung lobes and midline shift towards the right. A CT scan with contrast showed a 6 cm mass arising from the right mainstem bronchus that was completely occluding the lumen, causing right lung atelectasis. Histopathologic examination of the tumor revealed an atypical carcinoid tumor with massive ossification. This is a case report and review of the literature of the rare bronchial carcinoid demonstrating bone formation.
