Abstract
Background: Carcinoids make nearly 2% of all lung tumors, and the typical carcinoid are more frequent than atypical carcinoid (AC). Case presentation: We report a histologically confirmed AC case of a 23-years old male patient; revealed by back chest pain as the first presentation; after a covid vaccination. Past medical history revealed that the patient had received the covid-19 vaccine in the days before the presentation. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the thorax revealed a tumor mass of the right fowler. Conclusion: To our knowledge; this is the first case in literature. Whether bronchial carcinoid tumors are infrequent; they should be considered as differential diagnosis in patients even younger, with recurrent respiratory symptoms as timely and quick diagnosis is essential for curative intervention. We reported a first a COVID-19 vaccine- revealing symptoms of a bronchial atypical carcinoid, the characteristics that led to this phenomenon stay unclear, more studies are needed.
