Carcinoid Tumorlets Co-Existing with Chronic Pulmonary Inflammatory Processes: Imaging Findings and Histological Appearances.

CONCLUSIONS PCT occurs most commonly in middle-aged women who have chronic pulmonary inflammatory processes such as bronchiectasis, atelectasis, and inflammation. Although there are no specific symptoms or direct imaging findings in these patients, our results showed that patients who have bronchiectasis, atelectasis, or recurrent pulmonary infection are at increased risk for PCT.
