title: [A case of carcinoid tumor of left superior trunk treated by sleeve upper lobectomy].
abstract: A case of bronchial carcinoid was reported. A 39-year-old male was suffered from recurrent pneumonia. Bronchofiberscopy revealed a polipoid tumor nearly obstructing left superior bronchial trunk. CT scan showed a round tumor about 1 cm in diameter. Resection of the tumor was carried out by sleeve upper lobe loectomy. Histological diagnosis was typical carcinoid, and there was no lymph node matastasis. Postoperative course was uneventful. Granulation and stenosis were not observed at the part of anastomosis.
