That these tumors are capable of producing the carcinoid syndrome has also become a well established clinical entity. This communication reports another case of the carcinoid syndrome produced by a metastasizing bronchial adenoma.CASE REPORTA 50-year-old white female was admitted to Mercy Hospital in August, 1951, complaining of hemoptysis.
