title: Atypical ossification in bronchial carcinoid.
abstract: A patient is described with bronchial carcinoid and ossification in the surrounding bronchial wall. The osseous metaplasia was the only histologic abnormality discovered in bronchial biopsy specimens taken pre-operatively. We propose that underlying bronchial carcinoid tumour should be considered in isolated bronchial or bronchopulmonary ossification.
