A bronchial carcinoid tumour is a slow-growing neuroendocrine tumour that develops in the airways. It can cause no symptoms for years. An MRI may show a mass in or near the bronchus consistent with a carcinoid tumour. Finding a bronchial carcinoid tumour early may allow for surgical removal before it spreads to lymph nodes or other organs. CT is generally preferred for lung mass assessment, however MRI can characterise soft tissue components of bronchial tumours.
