Abstract

Introduction: Carcinoid tumour is a rare entity accounting for less than two percent of bronchial neoplasms. They are rare well-differentiated, neuro-endocrine tumors, with low-grade malignancy. They are distinguished in two different groups: typical and atypical carcinoid. Typical and atypical carcinoids differ in their biological behavior and prognosis. Atypical bronchial carcinoid tumor is still rare. We report one such rare case.

Keywords:Carcinoid, atypical, bronchial
