ABSTRACT
Bronchoplasty is frequently required for radical resection of central typical carcinoid tumours. As sleeve bronchoplasty can be a complex procedure, an accurate evaluation of the tumour location is mandatory. Although the endobronchial part of the tumour can be easily evaluated by bronchoscopy, the exo-bronchial part is difficult to analyse with a standard computed tomography (CT) scan. A three-dimensional (3D) CT scan could be used to identify this exo-bronchial component of the tumour when planning a reconstruction. Herein, we present a case of a 59-year-old woman with a typical central carcinoid tumour of the right main bronchus. After 3D modelling, we successfully performed a total parenchyma-sparing resection with an intermedius bronchus reimplantation into the carina associated with the right upper bronchus anastomosis in the lateral trachea. The follow-up was uneventful. An endoscopy at 3 months showed excellent results.
