A 47‐year‐old woman presented with significant respiratory symptoms and was diagnosed with a bronchial tumor. Histological analysis confirmed the tumor, initially treated with endobronchial treatment (EBT), was a typical carcinoid. Given the patient’s improved pulmonary function and in accordance with current clinical guidelines, she underwent video‐assisted thoracoscopic right upper lobe sleeve resection for the residual tumor. The combination of surgical resection and EBT may offer an effective treatment strategy for other bronchial tumors.
