    Abstract:
    Carcinoid tumors are well differentiated neuroendocrine tumors of low grade malignancy or attenuated malignancy. Atypical bilateral bronchial forms are rarely reported. They pose a real problem of therapeutic strategy. We report a case of a 36-year-old woman with two large bilateral atypical carcinoid tumors. She received delayed bilateral parenchymal resection with postoperative uneventful course. Through a review of the literature, we discuss the therapeutic strategy. This observation remains special for several reasons. Not only by the rarity of the bilateral and atypical forms but also for the bilateral tumor sizes which led to a difficult intraoperative anesthetic management.
