Abstract

Pulmonary tumorlet is multifocal neuroendocrine cell proliferation believed to be precursor lesion to pulmonary carcinoids. A 52-year-woman underwent a left lower lobectomy and lingulectomy for bronchiectasis. Histopathologically, multiple tumorlets and a carcinoid tumor were detected in the surgical specimen. J Clin Exp Invest 2012; 3(2): 273-276

Özet

Pulmoner tümörlet, multifokal nöroendokrin hücre proliferasyonudur ve pulmoner karsinoidler için prekürsör lezyon olarak kabul edilir. Bu çalışmada, 52 yaşında bronşektazi nedeniyle sol alt lobektomi ve lingulektomi yapılan bir hasta tartışıldı. Cerrahi spesmenin histopatolojik değerlendirmesinde bronşektatik zeminde multiple tümörlet ve karsinoid tümör saptandı.
