Ectopic acromegaly due to growth hormone-releasing hormone secretion by a bronchial carcinoid is rare. We report a case of bronchial carcinoid presenting with acromegaly due to ectopic growth hormone production. The patient was treated successfully with right pneumonectomy.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.
