Atypical carcinoid lung tumour, also atypical carcinoid, is an uncommon lung tumour with a poor outcome.

General

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • 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:

IHC

  • Ki-67 ~17% (range 10-26%).[3]

Note:

  • Typical carcinoid is considerably lower ~2% (range 0-7%) and large cell neuroendocrine considerable higher ~81% (range 63-92%).[3]
