A young male presented with a long history of breathlessness and wheezing with occasional bouts of non-productive cough. Several previous radiographs failed to detect any abnormality and the patient was being treated for bronchial asthma! 

The latest radiograph depicted a circumscribed mass projected over the right main bronchus and a CT scan was requested. 

CT scan demonstrated the endobronchial mass very nicely. A diagnosis of endobronchial carcinoid tumor was made based on CT images.

The patient underwent successful resection of the tumor.

Histopathology showed a low grade typical carcinoid tumor. 

The patient is currently symptom free.
