    This study reports the first case of bronchial carcinoid with aerogenous spread, where tumor cells disseminated within the lung. This finding suggests a novel pathway for bronchial carcinoid metastasis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Bronchial carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung.
    • Intrapulmonary dissemination is an uncommon presentation of bronchial carcinoid.

    Observation:

    • A right upper lobectomy was performed for an abnormal lung shadow detected on X-ray.
    • The resected specimen revealed a bronchial carcinoid tumor originating from the right upper lobe bronchus.
    • The tumor exhibited intraluminal growth and extensive invasion into surrounding alveolar tissue.

    Findings:

    • Histological analysis showed a typical bronchial carcinoid with mixed patterns (insular, trabecular, glandular).
    • Multiple tumor foci were identified in the periphery, replacing alveolar epithelium without destroying alveolar structure.

  • This pattern suggests the possibility of aerogenous spread of bronchial carcinoid.

    • Implications:

    • This case is the first documented instance of bronchial carcinoid with aerogenous spread.
    • Understanding this spread mechanism may impact future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for bronchial carcinoid.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the incidence and clinical significance of aerogenous spread in bronchial carcinoid.
