Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Typical carcinoid tumor
Radiologic Findings
Chest radiograph (Fig 1A) showed well-defined mass in left infrahilar area. Chest CT images (Fig 1B-D) showed well defined mass near the left lower lobe bronchus which was narrowed by the mass. The mass was well enhanced and had some area of low attenuation after injection of contrast material. The mass was relatively well demarcated from the lung and was attached to the left lower pulmonary vein and artery.
Brief Review
Bronchoscopic image (Fig 1E) showed intact bronchial mucosa with narrowed lumen by extrinsic mass effect. Operative findings represented that the tumor was severely adhesive to the left lower lobe bronchus as well as pulmonary vein and artery. Left lower lobectomy with LN dissections was performed. The lesion was confirmed as typical carcinoid tumor without LN metastasis.
