Abstract
- Peripheral bronchial carcinoids are uncommon. Their presentation as synchronous tumors is rare and limited to anecdotal cases.We report the case of a 62-year-old female with the radiological finding of multiple bilateral nodular lesions. Bilateral sequential thoracotomies were performed and all three nodules were treated by sublobar resections. Pathological examination revealed all specimens to be carcinoid tumors and subsequent investigation confirmed the lung as the primary site. A review of previous cases of multiple carcinoids is presented and the particularities of their management are discussed.
