Pulmonary carcinoids are uncommon malignant neoplasms, believed to derive from specialized neuroendocrine cells known as Kulchitsky cells. We evaluated a 69-year-old female presenting symptoms consistent with carcinoid syndrome, such as intermittent flushing and diarrhoea, along with complaints of shortness of breath and cough. Imaging revealed bilateral lung nodules, confirmed by biopsy to be carcinoid tumours. The treatment of choice for carcinoid tumours is complete surgical resection. Nonetheless, individualized management plans are crafted based on the tumour's location and the patient's respiratory function as these present challenges to anatomical resection of tumours.
肺类癌是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,被认为起源于一种称为库尔契茨基细胞的特殊神经内分泌细胞。我们评估了一名69岁女性,她出现了与类癌综合征相符的症状,如间歇性潮红和腹泻,同时伴有呼吸急促和咳嗽的主诉。影像学检查发现双侧肺结节,活检证实为类癌肿瘤。类癌肿瘤的首选治疗方法是完整的手术切除。尽管如此,仍会根据肿瘤的位置和患者的呼吸功能制定个体化的管理计划,因为这些因素给肿瘤的解剖切除带来了挑战。
