Abstract:
The four cases of bronchial carcinoids were presented. Based on bronchoscopic biopsies the initial diagnosis of small cell lung cancer was established in them. The analysis of medical history was strongly suggested for carcinoid but not for small cell carcinoma. In each of them thoracotomy was performed and correct diagnosis of carcinoid was estimated based on resected tumour. The diagnostic criteria for bronchial carcinoid were discussed.
