CTICasesRecurrent Endobronchial Carcinoid Tumor

Imaging findings
Initially, a well-defined enhancing nodule with calcifications was present, causing complete right middle lobe collapse and having an endobronchial component near the right middle lobe bronchus origin. After a bilobectomy in 2010 for a typical carcinoid (with no atypical features or malignancy in lymph nodes), a follow-up CT revealed another endobronchial lesion at the stump site near the carina and right upper lobe.
Key takeaways
This case demonstrates the recurrence of a typical carcinoid tumor at the bronchial stump site several years after initial surgical resection (bilobectomy). This highlights the possibility of local recurrence for these lesions.
