ABSTRACT
Bronchial carcinoid (BC) make up 80-90% of a group of lung tumors formerly called “bronchial adenomas,” which also included adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma; hence, their actual incidence was not accurately known. It is a rare entity in the pediatric population where metastatic lung tumors greatly outnumber primary lung tumors. BC account for 2-5% of all lung neoplasms in adults but are the most common primary lung neoplasm of childhood, accounting for 80% of malignant bronchopulmonary neoplasms in children. We have presented a case of left BC in an 11-year-old boy, with a short review of literature, and discussed the management. We have discussed the surgical procedure in detail, pointing out the possible pitfalls and their management.
