Carcinoids, defined as well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, are classified as typical or atypical based on their microscopic pathological features. Typical carcinoids have a favorable prognosis after complete resection, with 10-year survival rates of up to 90%. We present the surgical strategy used to achieve a left pneumonectomy and the indications for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) support in a patient with a huge typical carcinoid tumor.

Abstract
Carcinoids, defined as well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, are classified as typical or atypical based on their microscopic pathological features. Typical carcinoids have a favorable prognosis after complete resection, with 10-year survival rates of up to 90%. We present the surgical strategy used to achieve a left pneumonectomy and the indications for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) support in a patient with a huge typical carcinoid tumor.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
