Abstract

Abstract

Carcinoid tumors are considered part of the spectrum of neuroendocrine tumors which include typical carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, and small cell carcinoma. They are rare and constitute less than 2% of all pulmonary tumors. Surgery is the gold standard in the treatment of carcinoid tumors. However, the policy for surgical resection of carcinoid tumor is still controversial. In this report, we present a case of bronchial carcinoid tumor on which we performed a left tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy with a two-stage operative approach.
