Abstract:
Carcinoid tumors are the most common endobronchial tumors in the pediatric population, and represent a rare cause of airway obstruction. Clinical manifestations are unspecific, and diagnosis is often delayed due to low clinical suspicion. These tumors are considered low-grade malignant neoplasms, and their evolution is usually favorable after surgery. However, local recurrence and/or metastases can occur with both typical and atypical carcinoid tumors, justifying the need of prompt diagnosis and long-term follow-up.

The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
