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.

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.
