Abstract


Atypical lung carcinoids are rare compared to other lung cancers and are classified as tumours of medium malignancy. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the second leading cause of death from infectious diseases. The paper presents the case of a 46-year-old female patient who was surgically treated during acute tuberculosis. The patient recovered and is under the supervision of a pulmonologist oncologist.
