Abstract

Carcinoid tumors are relative rare neuroendocrine tumors of the lung. Bronchial obstruction’s symptoms as cough, hemoptysis and pneumonia may be present when they are centrally located and lung-sparing surgery is usually preferred. We describe the case of an adult patient with a central right upper lobe carcinoid tumor and a concurrent tracheal bronchus malformation. This peculiar bronchial malformation allowed a sleeve S2 segmentectomy sparing the S1–S3 segments and the middle and lower lobes. The patient was discharged on day 4 without complications.
