Atypical Bronchial Carcinoid
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Carcinoid tumour is a rare entity accounting for less than two percent of bronchial neoplasms. They are rare well-differentiated, neuro-endocrine tumors, with low-grade malignancy. They are distinguished in two different groups: typical and atypical carcinoid. Typical and atypical carcinoids differ in their biological behavior and prognosis. Atypical bronchial carcinoid tumor is still rare. We report one such rare case.
