La conocida tendencia de los tumores carrinoides a desarrollarse en vías aéreas centrales, junto con su lento crecimiento, explica su frecuente descubrimiento por las complicaciones de la obstrucción bronquial. El atrapamiento aéreo con la hipoperfusión consecuente y el neumotorax son modos de presentación excepcional, sólo aisladamente descritos. Se comunican 2 casos y tras revisión de la literatura se discuten las diferentes teorías que han intentado explicar los mecanismos productores de dichos hallazgos.

The well known tendency of the carcinoid tumors to develop in central airways, together with its slow growth, explain the fact that they are frequently diagnosed because of the complications of bronchial obstruction. Air entrapment with the subsequent hypoperfusion, and pneumothorax are exceptional presenting features only isolatedly reported. We present two cases and discuss the different hypothesis attempting to explain the pathogenetic mechanisms for such flndings, after reviewing the current relevant literature.
