Notably small bronchial carcinoid accompanied by peripheral squamous cell carcinoma

Our report presents the smallest bronchial carcinoid thus far associated with peripheral squamous cell carcinoma. A 79-year-old Japanese man presented with an abnormal shadow on chest radiography. Chest computed tomography revealed an ill-defined nodule at the left S9a area without lymph node involvement. At the time of bronchoscopy, a nodule of ~1 mm in diameter with a smooth surface was observed at the orifice of the left B8. Left lower lobectomy was performed. Pathologically, the S9a tumour was keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma with surgical stage IA3, and the left B8 tumour was a typical bronchial carcinoid. The patient was alive without recurrence 2 years after the surgery. Cases of combined carcinoid and lung cancer are rare. It may be possible to identify bronchial carcinoids early by careful observation of the bronchi during bronchoscopy for peripheral neoplastic lesions.
