RESUMO
Here one case of bronchial carcinoid is reported, which presented as intrabronchial obstructing lesion with sequelae. Carcinoid syndrome is quite uncommon with bronchial carcinoids and x-ray or CT usually gives non-specific appearances. Still, the relatively younger age group of patients and presence of obstructing lesions in major bronchi with features like extraluminal extension and mucoid impactions are helpful signs. However, a few instances of carcinoid mimics do occur during imaging studies, like other types of intrabronchial tumours and long standing foreign bodies.
