Abstract

We report on two adolescents with primary endobronchial tumors. They both presented with subacute onset of respiratory symptoms, poor response to conventional medical therapy and pulmonary function test findings suggestive of intrathoracic obstruction. Due to prompt bronchoscopic evaluation, timely resection of the tumors was performed.

Keywords: Atypical carcinoid tumor; Primary endobronchial tumor; Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor; Intrathoracic obstruction
