Abstract

Endobronchial carcinoid is an extremely rare neoplasm in children. We report a case in which this entity was prospectively diagnosed by 3-D CT bronchography with volume rendering techniques. The ability to prospectively implicate an endobronchial neoplasm in a child may help to guide subsequent therapy and management.
