Abstract
Bronchial carcinoids were classified as one of the bronchial adenoma group and constituted about 90% of bronchial adenoma. Typical carcinoids are common benign neoplasms of the airway because of their uniform histologic feature, predictable clinical course and good survival after surgical resection. And atypical carcinoid is regarded as a malignant tumor because of its pleomorphic, hyperchromatic nucleus, frequent mitosis and distant metastasis (about 70%). However, typical carcinoids rarely metastasize to regional lymph nodes and such cases would be regarded as a low grade malignancy because their clinical prognosis could be bad. We present a case of typical bronchial carcinoid which metastasize to hilar lymph node who has been followed up 10 months after resection.
