CTICasesTypical bronchial carcinoid tumor
Imaging findings
Thoracic spine MRI and CT scan incidentally detect a well-defined, homogeneous, pedunculated intraluminal mass in the right mainstem bronchus, which was successfully resected via interventional bronchoscopy and diagnosed as typical carcinoid.
Key takeaways
Bronchial carcinoids are low-grade neuroendocrine tumors that frequently arise in the central airways. They can be completely asymptomatic and incidentally discovered on non-thoracic studies like spine MRIs. Bronchoscopic resection is often curative for typical variants.
