Abstract
COLLADO OTERO, Juan Carlos and ALMEIDA VARELA, Ricardo. Lung carcinoid tumors: a case report. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2007, vol.46, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.
The case of a 35-year-old patient that came to our institute after having been diagnosed right lung hemangioma and having undergone a right inferior lobectomy in another hospital 6 years ago was presented. In this opportunity, she was admitted again to study the reappearance of a right parahiliar lung shadow. She presented massive hemoptisis, and an emergency right pneumonectomy was performed. The result of the biopsy confirmed a bronchial carcinoid tumor as a definitive diagnosis. The literatute that makes reference to the clinical, radiological and anatomopathological characteristics of this disease was reviewed.
Keywords : Lung carcinoid tumor; hemoptisis.
