Bronchial Adenomas is a rare lung tumour which starts from neuroendocrine cells in bronchi, and it is classified as typical and atypical carcinoids in neuroendocrine tumors.
The tumour composition involves uniform, round to spindle-shaped cells with nest like growth pattern and patient shows symptoms including cough, wheezing, and chest pain.
Epidemiology
Bronchial adenoma is a common form of primary lung tumour which accounting for 1 to 5% of all such cases.
Smoking is a major risk factor, but environmental toxins are important for tumour development.
Anatomy
Pathophysiology
Bronchial adenomas tumour cells show exact same characteristics as of normal lung tissue of neuroendocrine cells and it secretes hormones like serotonin, histamine, bradykinin, prostaglandins.
Etiology
Bronchial Adenomas give exposure to environmental or occupational hazards.
The hormonal factors may contribute to growth and syndromes is characterized by gene mutations. It predisposes with multiple endocrine tumours.
Genetics
Prognostic Factors
Typical carcinoids have a better prognosis due to their modest mitotic activity and reduced chance of metastasis. Atypical carcinoids exhibit enhanced mitotic activity and metastatic potential.
The size of a cancer influences the prognosis, with larger tumours indicating more serious illness and an increased risk of local metastasis.
Clinical History
Bronchial adenomas occur mostly in adults, especially in individuals more than 30 years old.
Physical Examination
Respiratory findings such as upper airway obstruction, wheezing, dyspnea, and hoarseness

Associated comorbidity
Associated activity
Acuity of presentation
Bronchial adenomas are small, localized tumours which can be discovered incidentally on imaging studies for unrelated reasons and causes minimal symptoms.

Treatment Paradigm
Adjuvant therapy including radiation therapy and chemotherapy is widely used by physician and surgeons for intervention procedure of aggressive bronchial adenomas.
Palliative therapy may be recommended for patients with unresectable or metastatic bronchial adenomas to alleviate symptoms and enhance quality of life.
Follow up studies and evaluation of clinical status are required. Appointments with medical physicians and preventing recurrence of infection is an ongoing life-long effort.
Smoking is a major risk factor in the development of lung cancer thus patient should quit smoking immediately then it will reduce the risk of disease progression.
Patient should stop going such places where environmental pollutants and indoor air pollutants are present . It can help to improve lung health in individuals.
Inform patients on ways to prevent infections and what steps to take. To decrease the likelihood of recurrence, promote lifestyle changes such as minimizing infection sources.
Role of Bronchodilators
Albuterol: It is a short-acting beta-agonist which works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the airways. Albuterol is administered through inhalation using a metered-dose inhaler.
Use of Chemotherapy
Cisplatin: It is a platinum-based chemotherapy agent. It has cytotoxic property and due to this it forms DNA crosslinks. It is administered intravenously over several hours in combination with other chemotherapy agents, such as etoposide.
Bronchoscopy resection: The procedure, which involves incomplete tumor removal, frequent recurrence, limited visibility, and high hemorrhage risk.
Lobectomy with or without sleeve resection: It is the most common technique for tumors in lobar bronchi is sleeve resection of the main stem which is necessary if the orifice or adjacent main stem bronchus is involved.
Bronchotomy: Polypoid tumors can be treated through bronchotomy and excision, with bronchotomy ensuring complete resection and wedge resection for small lesions lacking atypia, often accompanied by nodal sampling.

Diagnostic Phase: In this phase physician should access the imaging studies report, bronchoscope evaluation and histopathological assessment.
Treatment Phase: In the treatment phase surgical resection is the primary treatment given to patients who has localized bronchial adenomas with complete removal of tumour.
Monitoring and Surveillance Phase: In this phase, physicians should arrange regular follow-up visits to check the improvement of patients and newly observed complaints.
