Published on Wednesday, 27 June 2018
Abstract
We describe the case of a 53-year-old woman who visited many pneumologists without a diagnosis until finally being diagnosed with diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH).
It is a relatively new disease characterized by neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia in small airways.
She has stable DIPNECH and neuroendocrine carcinoma with somatostatin therapy.
