title: [Bronchial carcinoid tumor: study of 60 patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the casuistry of bronchial carcinoid tumor in the last 20 years in our hospital and determine survival after surgical treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  We retrospectively reviewed the medical records from January 1992 to June 2012 of patients diagnosed with carcinoid tumor by the pulmonary service.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Fifty-two patients (87%) had typical carcinoid and 8 (13%) atypical carcinoid. The mean age at diagnosis was 60 years (SD: 14.4). There was no relationship between consumption of tobacco and carcinoid tumor. Twenty-two per cent were asymptomatic radiographic finding (incidental finding) Three patients showed carcinoid syndrome and one patient had Cushing syndrome. There was a right dominance and the mean lesion size was between 2.1 and 5 cm. Nine per cent had lymph node involvement, predominantly in atypical carcinoid. Overall survival at 3.5 and 10 years was 94%, 86% and 82%. Survival at 5 years was 90% for typical and 86% for atypical and survival at 10 years was 85% for typical and 57% for atypical carcinoids.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Carcinoid tumors are malignant tumors by their ability to metastasize. In our study, both histological type and staging were predictors of survival.
