Abstract

Lung carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine cancers that primarily affect younger individuals and exhibit unique epidemiological characteristics unrelated to smoking or environmental factors. Symptoms may include coughing and wheezing. Bronchoscopic biopsy is the standard for diagnosis, with surgical resection as the gold standard treatment. Recent advances, such as laser resection, offer alternative options. We present a case of a 46-year-old female with bronchial carcinoid successfully treated using bronchoscopic diode laser therapy, highlighting its minimally invasive benefits. The success of this approach depends on tumor location, underscoring the importance of considering tumor characteristics in treatment decisions. Our report contributes to the evolving landscape of bronchogenic tumor management, emphasizing the need for continued research.
