Abstract

Carcinoid tumours are rare entity but carcinoid syndrome is even more uncommon. These tumours arise from neuro-endocrine cells of the fore- mid- and hind-gut and produce a number of substances, the most important is serotonin. Bronchial carcinoid tumours are rare and account for 2.5% of all pulmonary tumours. Two cases of bronchial carcinoid are reported with different presentations and a review of the subject is discussed.
