Abstract
- We report a case of bronchial carcinoid that initially manifested as metastatic tumor in the breast. An exhaustive search for the primary tumor yielded the finding of a large right lung mass. Subsequent histopathologic examination of the resected lung and breast tissues confirmed the lung cancer as a primary tumor and the breast tumor as metastatic disease.
