Bronchoplasty for bronchial carcinoid tumor without removing lung parenchyma

The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery volume 54, pages 345–347 (2006)Cite this article

Abstract

A 15-year-old boy was admitted with a pneumothorax of the left lung. Computed tomographic scans demonstrated a tumor 20 mm in diameter situated on the left main to upper lobar bronchus that eventually was proved to be a typical carcinoid tumor by transbronchial biopsy. We performed bronchial resection with atypical bronchoplasty, which preserves lung parenchyma in cases of s-T1N0M0 disease. The patient has had no evidence of recurrence 7 years after surgery.
