Atypical carcinoid lung tumour, also atypical carcinoid, is an uncommon lung tumour with a poor outcome.
General
- Approximately 20% of lung carcinoids.[1]
Prognosis:
- Significantly worse than for typical carcinoids; in one series,[2] the five year survival was 95% and 45% for typical carcinoid and atypical carcinoid respectively.
Treatment:
- Surgery for diagnosis and treatment.
- Chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic disease.[3]
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Nests of cells.
- Stippled chromatin.
- Mild-to-moderate amount of cytoplasm.
- No necrosis/focal necrosis.
- Moderate mitotic rate (2-10/HPF - definition suffers from HPFitis).
DDx:
- Typical carcinoid lung tumour.
- Small cell carcinoma of the lung.
- Metastatic small cell carcinoma.
- Lung adenocarcinoma.

IHC
- Ki-67 ~17% (range 10-26%).[5]
Note:
- Typical carcinoid is considerably lower ~2% (range 0-7%) and large cell neuroendocrine considerable higher ~81% (range 63-92%).[5]
