    Abstract:
    A 31-year-old female, pregnant (I trimester), presented with symptoms and signs of bronchial asthma. Chest roentgenogram and computerized tomography of the chest revealed right mid and lower zone opacity (collapse). Bronchoscopic examination revealed intrabronchial growth in the right middle and lower lobe bronchus. Biopsy and histopathological examination confirmed carcinoid tumour. These symptoms and signs disappeared after laser therapy. The lesion, however, recurred two years later.
