- This study focused on bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (bNET) in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) to understand their prevalence, precursor lesions, and prognosis.
- Five out of 75 MEN1 patients (6.6%) were found to have bNET after a median follow-up of 134 months, with all cases being asymptomatic and predominantly well differentiated.
- The findings suggest that bNET in MEN1 are more common than thought, often have a benign course, and may be preceded by multifocal neuroendocrine changes and tumorlets.

Case Presentation: An immunocompetent 54-year-old woman was exposed to plant mulch during gardening and subsequently developed pulmonary failure that progressed to sepsis with multiorgan failure.
