Abstract

A 27-year-old male patient presented with cough and right-sided, light thoracic pain. His physical appearance showed typical features of gigantism. Subsequently, further diagnostic work-up showed elevated level of growth hormone and a huge tumor of the right lung, identifying a typical pulmonary carcinoid tumor (TPCT). Curative surgery was performed leading to normalization of the elevated growth hormone levels few days after surgery. Two- and five-year follow-up showed no signs of recurrence. Respected to tumor size, we determined the largest TPCT to be reported in medical literature history.
