RESUMEN
Los tumorlets son tumores neuroendocrinos pulmonares menores a 0.5 cm, de evolución benigna y habitualmente asintomáticos. Su diagnóstico es importante para realizar la diferenciación con otras afecciones neuroendocrinas y enfermedad metastásica de otro origen, que requerirán una intervención terapéutica. Se presenta un caso de dicha entidad asociada a otros tumores.
ABSTRACT
Tumorlets are pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors smaller than 0.5 cm. They are benign and usually asymptomatic. Their diagnosis is important so as to differentiate them from other neuroendocrine pathologies that require therapeutic intervention. We report a case of such entity and a discussion on the subject that can contribute to highlight the importance of diagnosing this entity.
