Carcinoid tumors of the lung are an uncommon malignancy that can rarely lead to carcinoid syndrome. Carcinoid tumors represent less than 1% of all lung cancers. This case describes a rare presentation in which a previously asymptomatic woman began to experience tachycardia, shortness of breath, and anxiety after biopsy of a pulmonary carcinoid tumor. Chest CT, histology, and clinical course supported the diagnosis and the patient's symptoms quickly resolved with medication. Ultimately, surgical removal of the tumor led to complete resolution of symptoms.
肺类癌肿瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤，很少会导致类癌综合征。类癌肿瘤在所有肺癌中所占比例不到1%。本病例描述了一种罕见的情况，一名此前无症状的女性在肺类癌肿瘤活检后开始出现心动过速、呼吸急促和焦虑症状。胸部CT、组织学检查和临床病程支持了诊断，患者的症状通过药物治疗迅速得到缓解。最终，手术切除肿瘤使症状完全消失。
