| Popis: | Lung carcinoid tumours are rare neoplasms with a favourable prognosis. Bronchoplasty can be a conservative treatment for typical carcinoid tumours and can be applied for patients with limited respiratory function. We report the case of a 34‐year‐old woman, with a polypoid tumour located at the distal right main bronchus. Bronchial biopsy showed a typical carcinoid tumour. After resection of the tumour in the right main bronchus, bronchoplasty was performed by end‐to‐end anastomosis of the remaining right main bronchus, right upper lobar bronchus, and the upper bronchus intermedius. Bronchoscopy showed a good quality anastomosis with slightly reduced endoluminal calibre only. The post‐operative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged at the seventh day. One year later, no complications occurred and the patient is still being followed up regularly. In this article, we try to demonstrate the possibility of creating a "neo‐spur" without lobectomy to treat an intra‐bronchial typical carcinoid tumor. |
