Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Carcinoid tumor
Radiologic Findings
Figs 1. Chest PA shows alobulated margin mass in the left upper lung zone.
Fig 2. Chest CT scan shows a well-marginated, enhancing mass with distal mucoid impaction in the left upper lobe.
Figs 3-4. The apicoposterior segmental bronchus of the left upper lobe is obstructed by the mass.

Bronchoscopic biopsy was performed, and the mass was confirmed as carcinoid tumor pathologically.
Brief Review
Carcinoid tumors account for 1~2% of pulmonary neoplasms. They are considered to be neuroendocrine tumors. There are two types of carcinoidtumors, distinguished by histologic features: typical (80~90%) and atypical (10~20%) carcinoid. Most of the typical carcinoids are central in location.And atypical carcinoids are usually located peripherally. The centrally located typical carcinoids tend to manifest earlier with central airway obstruction symptoms and signs than do peripherally located atypical carcinoids. Carcinoids tend to be vascular and may demonstrate intense enhancement. Internal calcification can be seen (30%). Prognosis of carcinoids is dependent on histologic findings; typical carcinoids generally have an excellent prognosis, whereas atypical carcinoids have a worse prognosis.
