Bronchial carcinoid tumors are primary lung neoplasms thought to originate from neuroendocrine cells, i.e. Kulchitsky cells, in the bronchial
mucosa, although the type of cellular origin has not been clearly understood. A 61-year-old male patient underwent surgery and microscopic
examination of the specimen revealed an anastomosing trabecular bony structure among the nests of tumor cells with round nucleus, granular
chromatin, and large eosinophilic cytoplasm. Our case has been deemed worthy of being presented as bronchial carcinoid tumor with exaggerated
osseous metaplasia.
