A 53-year-old man was admitted with a nodular lesion on chest radiograph. Chest CT scan showed a cystic nodule in right S4 which gradually enlarged during follow-up without therapy. Two years after the first examination, we performed middle lobectomy using video assisted thoracoscopy. Histologically, the tumor was found to be typical carcinoid by immunostaining.
