ABSTRACT
We report a case of a bronchial carcinoid tumor extending from the right upper lobe into the left mainstem bronchus in a 30-year-old woman. Diagnosis was established by preoperative bronchoscopy and biopsy. After extensive debulking with seven sessions of bronchoscopic neodymiumyttrium-aluminum-garnet laser therapy, the tumor was resected by right upper-lobe sleeve lobectomy. Final pathology revealed a typical carcinoid tumor with surgical margins and all lymph nodes free of tumor.
