[Localised bronchiectasis revealing carcinoid tumor].
We here report the case of a 32-year old female patient with a 5-year history of recurrent purulent bronchial syndrome. Radiological assessment showed a left basithoracic finely ringed bright areas related to cylindrical bronchiectasis located in the left lower lobe. Flexible bronchoscopy showed smooth surface, reddish tumor obstructing the entrance of the left basal pyramid. The patient underwent left lower lobectomy associated with mediastinal lymph node dissection. Histological examination of the surgical specimen was in favor of typical carcinoid tumor. Postoperative outcome was uncomplicated and clinical and radiological evolution was good.
