ABSTRACT
Pulmonary carcinoid tumors are thought to originate from neuroendocrine Kulchitsky's cells in the bronchial epithelium. The majority of typical carcinoid tumors are located centrally. However, atypical carcinoids are frequently situated peripherally and display malignant histologic features with aggressive behavior. Few reports are discribing carcinoid tumors originating from the pleura. We report a typical carcinoid tumor located mainly in the parietal pleura invading the chest wall without evidence of pulmonary parenchymal invasion.
