Abstract
Bronchial asthma due to small-cell carcinoma is very rare and reports in the literature are few. This paper reports such a case. Asthma was the only noteworthy clinical manifestation of admission. More detailed examination, undertaken because the patient failed to respond to bron chodilator therapy, revealed a pulmonary carcinoma. The bronchoconstri ction responded only to octreotide therapy.
