Carcinoid tumors are the most common endobronchial tumors in the pediatric population, and represent a rare cause of airway obstruction. Clinical manifestations are unspecific, and diagnosis is often delayed due to low clinical suspicion. These tumors are considered low-grade malignant neoplasms, and their evolution is usually favorable after surgery. However, local recurrence and/or metastases can occur with both typical and atypical carcinoid tumors, justifying the need of prompt diagnosis and long-term follow-up.
