Clinical and pathological observations on 7 resected cases of bronchial carcinoid have been reviewed. Bronchoscopy was the most definitive diagnostic procedure. Bronchoplastic procedures were the treatment of choice for these low-grade potentially malignant lesions. Indications for extensive lung resection were distal suppuration and tumor extention into the parenchyma. There were no operative deaths or major complications. All the patients are still alive (mean follow-up 39.4 months) with no recurrence of tumor.
