“…In general, cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma tends to be elevated and pedunculated to the extent of several centimeters. Similarly, endobronchial growth of pulmonary fibrous histiocytoma has been reported ( 1 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], and this pattern of growth may lead to signs and conditions such as cough, hemoptysis and obstructive pneumonia. In the present case, the tumor was determined to be a fibrous histiocytoma of low-grade malignancy.…”

A 47-year-old manwas admitted to our hospital for abrupt onset of hemoptysis and dyspnea. Chest roentgenography revealed a left lower mass shadowwith obstruction of the left main bronchus. However, on the third hospital day, he expectorated a coagulum-like substance which resembled bronchial tree, and his symptoms then dramatically subsided. Except for small amounts of bleeding from left B10a, the endobronchus was intact on bronchoscopic examination, and the pathologic diagnosis of the tumor using resected material was fibrous histiocytoma of low-grade malignancy. In addition, given the similarity in histologic findings between the expectorated substance and resected tumor, the expectorated substance was considered to be a part of the tumor which had grown along the endobronchial tree.

Bronchial carcinoids (BCs) are rare, well-differentiated malignant neuroendocrine tumours that account for 2-5 % of all lung neoplasms in adults.In paediatric patients, carcinoids represent the most frequent primary lung cancer. Although BCs in childhood often have an endobronchial location causing airway obstruction, they are frequently misdiagnosed as benign conditions, resulting in a delay in definitive diagnosis and treatment. Surgery represents the treatment of choice for BCs, and lung-sparing resections (sleeve or bronchoplastic procedures) are recommended in central carcinoid tumours; pneumonectomy should be avoided, particularly in childhood. If promptly diagnosed and radically treated, BCs in children have an excellent prognosis. Relapses can occur many years after a radical resection, highlighting the necessity for long-term follow-up.

“…3,10,12,31) The most common bronchial tumors in younger patients are carcinoid tumors. 2,3,10,12,13,31) Local and/or distant metastases are found in approximately 20% to 27% of cases of bronchial carcinoid tumors, and some of these lead to death. 2,13) The proportion of APCT among pulmonary tumors in younger patients is relatively high, and the prognosis is poor.…”

A 19-year-old man presented with a rare skull metastasis from atypical pulmonary carcinoid tumor (APCT) manifesting as headache, diplopia, and cough. Head magnetic resonance imaging showed a skull base tumor extending from the posterior clinoid process to the clivus, and calvarial tumors in the right temporal and occipital bones. Chest and abdominal computed tomography showed a round tumor, 4 cm in diameter, in the lower lobe of the right lung and multiple small tumors in the liver. Surgery for the calvarial tumor in the right temporal bone was performed on June 27, 2003. The histological diagnosis was skull metastasis of neuroendocrine tumor. Gamma knife radiosurgery was performed for the residual skull metastases. Partial resection of the right lower lobe was performed for the lung tumor on August 22, 2003. The histological diagnosis was atypical carcinoid tumor. Subsequent adjuvant systematic chemotherapy was performed. The patient died of progression of the tumors in the lung and liver on April 19, 2004. We must consider APCT in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary tumors in adolescents, and perform follow-up observation or treatment, including surgery, if APCT is suspected.
