  • Title: Bronchoplasty for bronchial carcinoid tumor without removing lung parenchyma.
    Author: Uchino K, Okada M, Sakamoto T, Yuki T, Mimura T, Tsubota N.
    Journal: Jpn J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2006 Aug; 54(8):345-7. PubMed ID: 16972641.
    Abstract:
    A 15-year-old boy was admitted with a pneumothorax of the left lung. Computed tomographic scans demonstrated a tumor 20 mm in diameter situated on the left main to upper lobar bronchus that eventually was proved to be a typical carcinoid tumor by transbronchial biopsy. We performed bronchial resection with atypical bronchoplasty, which preserves lung parenchyma in cases of s-T1N0M0 disease. The patient has had no evidence of recurrence 7 years after surgery.
