*NET G3.  Ki67 Index > 20%,  Mitotic Index > 20/10 HPF  AND well-differentiated, expressing neuroendocrine differentiation and hormones
*Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC G3).  Ki 67 Index > 20%,  Mitotic Index > 20/10 HPF  Poorly differentiated, expressing neuroendocrine differentiation but lacking exocrine markers.
*[[MiNEN]].  mixed endocrine-nonendocrine neoplasm:  components of a non-endocrine carcinoma (mostly ductal adenocarcinoma or acinar cell carcinoma) combined with a neuroendocrine neoplasm

Low grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.  A. Stromal trabeculums (black arrows) support the uniform, non-necrotic tumor that has sharp edges (green arrows). B. Modestly variable, rounded nuclei show open chromatin and nucleoli. Individual pyknotic nuclei (black arrows) are insufficient as evidence of necrosis sufficient to increase grade. C. Immunostain. Cytoplasm is diffusely synaptophysin positive. D.  Immunostain. Cytoplasm shows stippled chromogranin positivity. E. Immunostain. Only scattered nuclei are Ki67 positive.
