A 40-year-old male has had increasing cough with
hemoptysis for 2 weeks. He is febrile, and a chest radio-
graph shows a right upper lobe area of consolidation that
improves with antibiotic therapy. However, his cough and
the hemoptysis persist. Bronchoscopy reveals an obstruct-
ing mass filling the bronchus to the right upper lobe.
Which of the following neoplasms is most likely to pro-
duce these findings?
O (A) Hamartoma
O (B) Adenocarcinoma
O (C) Large cell carcinoma
O (D) Kaposi sarcoma
O (E) Carcinoid tumor

The answer is (E)
Most pulmonary carcinoids are central, obstruct-
ing masses involving a bronchus. They are neuroendocrine
tumors with a somewhat unpredictable behavior, although
many are resectable and follow a benign course. They
typically present with hemoptysis and consequences of
bronchial obstruction. In this case, the pneumonia in the
right upper lobe probably resulted from obstruction to
drainage caused by the tumor. Adenocarcinomas are com-
mon lung tumors but are typically peripheral. A hamartoma
is an uncommon but benign pulmonary lesion that is also
located peripherally. Large cell carcinomas are typically
large, bulky, peripheral masses. Kaposi sarcoma can be
seen involving the lung in some patients with AIDS, and
the tumor often has a bronchovascular distribution, but
obstruction is uncommon.
