RESUMO
Early diagnosis of bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors is crucial as the surgical excision is the main treatment and determines the prognosis. We present the case of a 66-year-old heavy-smoker man who had started to complain about a cough a few months ago. We diagnosed him with an endobronchial mass on a chest computed tomography scan and lobar bronchoceles resulting from mucus plugging distal to the tumor obstruction. These findings were retrospectively visible on the previous chest radiograph that had initially been interpreted as non-contributary.
