Mucin-producing atypical bronchial carcinoid.

E C Sweeney, T Cooney
PMCID: PMC1145534  PMID: 219040

Abstract

In a case of atypical mucin-producing bronchial carcinoid in a 40-year-old man covert metastases were present at the time of lobectomy and were revealed at necropsy--a feature highlighting the malignant potential of the atypical carcinoid.
