Pulmonary carcinoid tumors are considered as low-grade neoplasms, seen as centrally located endobronchial masses or as peripheral circumscribed nodules. Calcification or ossification is a known phenomenon, but presentation as large bony mass is extremely uncommon. Herein, we report a case of ossifying bronchial carcinoid along with nodular Hashimoto's thyroiditis as incidental autopsy findings in a 32-year-old patient with a prior recent excision of pituitary macroadenoma. This association suggests the possibility of multiple endocrine neoplasia in this young male.
肺类癌肿瘤被认为是低级别肿瘤，表现为中央型支气管内肿块或周围边界清楚的结节。钙化或骨化是一种已知的现象，但表现为大的骨块极为罕见。在此，我们报告一例骨化性支气管类癌，同时伴有结节性桥本甲状腺炎，是一位 32 岁男性患者尸检时的偶然发现，该患者近期曾行垂体大腺瘤切除术。这种关联提示该年轻男性可能患有多发性内分泌肿瘤。
