Abstract: Objective To investigate the CT findings of bronchial carcinoid and to provide more information for clinical diagnosis. Methods The CT findings and clinicaldata were retrospectively analyzed in 8 patientsconfirmed by biopsy. Results All the 8 cases manifested as single round mass on CT images, including 2 peripheral lesions and 6 central lesions. It was proved that 2 atypical tumors and 6 typical tumors. CT findings of these cases consisted of well-defined border and uniform density(6 cases),lobulated contour(2 cases) and rough margin with short burr(1 case). 5 cases contained calcification,1 case contained fat component and 1 case contained a small amount of pleural lesionscould present as an “iceberg sign”(5 cases), intra-bronchial nodule(2 cases) or near the edge of the bronchus(1 case).The obstructive atelectasis or pulmonary consolidation was found in 6 cases. On CT contrast scanning, these lesions presented relatively significant enhancement(5 cases),usually the CT value increased ≥30HU, in which 2 cases of atypical carcinoid were inhomogeneous enhancement, and 2 cases showed enhanced vascular and mild to moderte enhancement(3 cases). Conclusion The CT findings of bronchial carcinoid have certain characteristics, which are certain value for clinical diagnosis, but the final diagnosis mostly depends on pathology.
