Typical carcinoid lung tumour, also lung carcinoid and carcinoid tumour of the lung, is a benign lung tumour, that is excised to exclude malignancy.
General
- Approximately 80% of lung carcinoids.[1]
- May be multiple.[2]
- Can mimicking metastatic disease.[3]
- Often re-occur - but long term survival good.
- Can be seen in the context of diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH).[4][5]
Presentation:[6]
- Cough.
- Hemoptysis.
Treatment:
- Surgical resection.[7]
Gross
- Well-circumscribed, solid.
- Location - central airways (85%), remainder peripheral.[8]
Microscopic
Features:
- Nests of cells.
- Stippled chromatin.
- Scant-to-moderate cytoplasm.
- No necrosis.
- Low mitotic rate.
- Size criterion: >= 5 mm.[9][10]

Lung carcinoid - very high mag. (WC)
IHC
Proliferation:
- Ki-67 ~2% (range 0-7%).[12]
- Atypical carcinoid is on average 17% (range 10-26%).[12]
Neuroendocrine markers:[13][14]
- Chromogranin A +ve.
- Synaptophysin +ve.
- CD56 +ve.
Others:
- TTF-1 +ve/-ve (11 +ve of 16 cases[15]).
- CK7 +ve/-ve (10 +ve of 16 cases[15]).
- CK20 -ve (0 +ve of 16 cases[15]).
