Etiology

Epidemiology
- most common lung cancer in children & adolescents
Pathology
- most bronchial carcinoids involve proximal airways resulting in endobronchial narrowing & possibly airway obstruction
Clinical manifestations
- cough
- localized wheeze[2]
- hemoptysis may be present
- recurrent pneumonia (post-obstructive pneumonia)
- carcinoid syndrome is rare (1%)
Laboratory
- hypercalcemia may be present
- increased ACTH secretion may occur
- hypokalemia may occur
Diagnostic procedures
- overnight dexamethasone suppression test
Radiology
- chest X-ray
- solitary nodule
- segmental atelectasis
- persistent pulmonary infiltrate[2]
Complications
Management
- surgical resection without lung resection
- prognosis is good if surgically resected[2]
