Abstract
- The authors present a case of a 44-year-old man who presented with acute onset shortness of breath. He had severe subcutaneous emphysema and his chest x-ray and CT scan confirmed presence of air in mediastinum. Rigid bronchoscopy revealed a bronchial tumour which was proven to be a carcinoid on histology. Patient recovered following the surgical excision of the tumour.
