Carcinoid is a tumour of amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation cells.[1] Tumours arise in the gastrointestinal tract (67.5%) and the bronchopulmonary system (25.3%). Pulmonary carcinoids account for 2% of all primary lung cancers with a 10-year survival of 82%–92%.[2] Bronchial carcinoids are perihilar and present with chest pain but can present as asthma, recurrent pneumonia, cough or haemoptysis. The diagnosis is sometimes delayed as symptoms might be misleading.
