Article Synopsis
- Typical carcinoid tumors are uncommon and difficult to diagnose through sputum cytology, with limited documented cases.
- A 71-year-old nonsmoker experienced a persistent cough and after two negative sputum tests, a third sample revealed tumor fragments due to partial expulsion of an endobronchial mass.
- The rarity of diagnosing typical carcinoid tumors through sputum is highlighted, as they are usually covered by bronchial mucosa, with this case being a rare exception previously reported only once.
