Abstract

Carcinoid syndrome is quite a rare presentation in bronchial carcinoid. A review of the literature suggests a figure of 2% to 7% in various series. This is usually associated with recurrent carcinoid tumor in the presence of hepatic metastasis. We discuss a patient who presented with flushing attacks 13 years after a left pneumonectomy. Further investigation found that the patient had recurrence at the pneumonectomy stump and in subcarinal lymph nodes.
