The relationship between endobronchial carcinoid tumor and sarcoidosis is uncommon. We report the case of a 43-year-old male who was hospitalized due to hemoptysis. Thoracic CT revealed a pulmonary mass in the right upper lobe (RUL) as well as hypermetabolic lymphadenopathies seen with PET-CT. The endobronchial biopsies were compatible with carcinoid tumor. The patient underwent lobectomy of the RUL with mediastinal lymphadenectomy. Histology demonstrated type I endobronchial carcinoid tumor and sarcoid granulomas, both in the RUL surgical piece as well as in the mediastinal lymph nodes. ER -
