Carcinoid tumorlet of the bronchus in a child.
We have reported a case of bronchial carcinoid tumorlet in a 10-year-old boy. Because this type of tumor rarely occurs in children under the age of 16 years, is relatively benign in its biologic behavior, and may be misdiagnosed as cancer, occurrences of such a tumor warrant close consultation with the pathologist and radiologist as well as a conservative approach in surgical management.
