CTICasesTypical carcinoid
Imaging findings
Chest radiograph shows right lower lobe collapse, and CT confirms an endobronchial soft tissue mass with a significant exobronchial component causing complete obstruction of the right lower lobe bronchus and post-obstructive atelectasis. Resection confirmed a typical carcinoid.
Key takeaways
Typical carcinoids are low-grade neuroendocrine tumors of the lung that frequently present as endobronchial masses causing post-obstructive atelectasis or pneumonia. They have a benign histology and excellent prognosis compared to atypical carcinoids.
