    Abstract:
    A 41-year-old woman presented with productive cough and exertional dyspnea. Bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial tumor arising from the membrane proximal to the bifurcation of right upper bronchus, and the tumor was a typical carcinoid. The right main bronchus, right upper lobe bronchus, and intermediate bronchus were resected along with the tumor. Intraoperative pathological diagnosis of the bronchial stumps was negative, and bronchial reconstruction was subsequently performed. Two-thirds of the circumference of the right main bronchus and the right intermediate bronchus were anastomosed. The right upper lobe bronchus was anastomosed in an end-to-side fashion. The anastomotic site was covered by the intercostal muscles.
