PulmonaryCarcinoid Tumorlet: a Neoplastic Affection?
Plicní tumorletjako neoplastická afekce?
66letá nekuřačka s difuzním oboustranným intersticiálním procesem, který se rozvíjí dva rokypřed smrtí. Byl podmíněn raritním sdružením mnohočetných karcinoidových tumorletů s difuzníidiopatickou hyperplazií plicních neuroendokrinních buněk bez bronchokonstrikce. Extenzivnímvyšetřením byl též zachycen papilárně utvářený typický karcinoid (5,2 mm). Případ demonstrujemožný preneoplastický charakter tumorletu, který představuje jednotku benigní části spektraplicních neuroendokrinních afekcí.

Overview
A 66-year-old woman, non-smoker, with a diffuse bilateral pulmonary interstitial involvementcaused by multiple carcinoid tumorlets associated with a diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH). The process has developed during the last two years of thepatient’s life. There were no pathologic changes in the remnant pulmonary parenchyma. Moreover, the minute typical carcinoid (5.2 mm) was encountered after extensive pulmonary tissueexamination. The spectrum of DIPNECH, multiple tumorlets, and typical carcinoid tumor demonstrates a possible neoplastic character of the pulmonary tumorlet.
Key words:
