Typical carcinoid lung tumour
Diagnosis in short

Lung carcinoid. H&E stain.

Synonyms lung carcinoid

LM stippled chromatin, usually nested architecture, no necrosis, low mitotic rate (see below)
LM DDx atypical carcinoid lung tumour, pulmonary carcinoid tumourlet, lung adenocarcinoma
IHC Ki-67 ~2% (0-7%)
Gross well-circumscribed, solid, >=5 mm (definition)
Site lung - see lung tumours

Symptoms +/-cough, +/-hemoptysis
Prevalence not common
Radiology usually central (85% of cases), well-circumscribed, solid
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx other lung tumours
Treatment excision to exclude other types of lung tumours & treat symptoms

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]

Presentation:[2]

  • Cough.
  • Hemoptysis.

Treatment:

  • Surgical resection.[3]

Gross

  • Well-circumscribed, solid.
  • Location - central airways (85%), remainder peripheral.[4]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Nests of cells.
    • Stippled chromatin.
    • Moderate cytoplasm.
  • No necrosis.
  • Low mitotic rate.
  • Size criterion: >= 5 mm.[5][6]

DDx:

IHC

  • Ki-67 ~2% (range 0-7%).[8]

Note:

Sign out

A. Lymph Node, Station 2L, Lymphadenectomy:
