Endobronchial Pulmonary Typical Carcinoid Tumors in Young Adults: A Three-Case Series Highlighting Obstructive Complications and Surgical Outcomes

Background

Typical pulmonary carcinoid tumors are uncommon, well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms that often arise in the central airways and may present with nonspecific obstruction-related respiratory symptoms, resulting in delayed diagnosis. We report a three-case series of endobronchial typical pulmonary carcinoid tumors in young adults, highlighting their variable obstructive complications and surgical outcomes.
