Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Oncology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Bronchial carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms.
  • Asthma exacerbation can mask or mimic symptoms of lung malignancies.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old pregnant woman presented with asthma-like symptoms.
  • Imaging revealed right lung opacity, and bronchoscopy identified an intrabronchial mass.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed a carcinoid tumor.
  • Laser therapy successfully treated the tumor, alleviating symptoms.
  • The tumor recurred two years post-treatment.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of thorough investigation in pregnant patients with atypical respiratory symptoms.
