| Abstract [eng] |
Lung carcinoids are truly rare neuroendocrine tumours that present a distinctly clinical challenge in view of their diversity of presentation, slow-growing pattern, and metastasizing potential. The following thesis represents a detailed case study regarding a 74-year-old female with the diagnosis of typical carcinoid tumour in the intermediate bronchus of the right lung. The patient presented to us for a first opinion with massive haemoptysis and dyspnoea which mandated urgent medical intervention. Diagnostic workup with contrast-enhanced CT and bronchoscopy with biopsy confirmed a low-grade neuroendocrine tumour. Lower bilobectomy was performed, and the patient had a successful resection with clear margins. The postoperative recovery was uncomplicated, and follow-up imaging did not show any recurrence. This case represents the necessity for early diagnosis and surgical intervention in the management of pulmonary carcinoid tumours. The case therefore highlights the good prognosis following complete tumour resection. |
