Abstract

Bilateral multiple typical carcinoid tumors of the lung are uncommon malignancies. We discuss the case of a 64 year-old female with a nonproductive cough as the initial symptom. Thoracic computed tomography revealed multiple nodular lesions on both sides, which were initially misdiagnosed as multiple metastases of the lung with an unknown primary. After resection of nodules in the right hemithorax, pathologic examination revealed a typical carcinoid tumor. Bilateral sequential thoracotomy was performed and all ten nodules, (six on the right side and four on the left side), were treated by sublobar resection due to poor respiratory function. Pathological examination revealed all nodules to be typical carcinoid tumors. Following the resections, the patient has remained disease-free for ten months. Turkish Başlık: Eşzamanlı İki Taraflı Çoklu Karakteristik Akciğer Karsinoid Tümörleri: 10 Karakteristik Karsinoid İle Benzersiz Bir Vaka Anahtar Kelimeler: Akciğer karsinoid, tipik karsinoid, bilateral, senkron Akciğerin bilateral, çok sayıda, tipik karsinoid tümörleri nadir görülen malignitelerdir. Non-prodüktif öksürük şikayeti olan 64 yaşındaki bayan hastaya yapılan bilgisayarlı toraks tomografisi incelemesinde her iki akciğerde çok sayıda nodüler lezyon tespit edilmiş; hasta başlangıçta primeri belli olmayan tümörün akciğere metastazları olarak yorumlanmıştır. Sağ akciğerdeki nodüllerin rezeksiyonundan sonra patolojik inceleme tipik karsinoid tümör olarak raporlanmıştır. Hastaya bilateral torakotomi gerçekleştirilmiş olup toplam on nodül (altı sağ, dört sol) hastanın solunum fonksiyonları kısıtlı olduğu için sublobar rezeksiyon ile eksize edilmiştir. Patolojik inceleme sonucunda on nodülünde tipik karsinoid tümör olduğunu anlaşılmıştır. Rezeksiyon sonrasında hasta on aylık takiplerinde hastalıksız sağ kalıma sahiptir.
