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%), TTF-1 +ve/-ve, CK7 +ve/-ve, CK20 -ve
Gross well-circumscribed, solid, >=5 mm (definition)
Site lung - see lung tumours

Syndromes diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia

Symptoms +/-cough, +/-hemoptysis
Prevalence not common
Radiology usually central (85% of cases), well-circumscribed, solid
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx other lung tumours, lung metastases (esp. when multiple)
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]
  • 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]
  • Most common primary lung tumour in children (~50% of primary lung tumours in children).
    • Most common lung tumour in children: metastasis (80-85% of lung tumours in children[6]).

Presentation:[7]

  • Cough.
  • Hemoptysis.

Treatment:

  • Surgical resection.[8]

Gross

  • Well-circumscribed, solid.
  • Location - central airways (85%), remainder peripheral.[9]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Nests of cells.
    • Stippled chromatin.
    • Scant-to-moderate cytoplasm.
  • Nuclei round or ellipsoid.
  • No necrosis - important.
  • Low mitotic rate.
  • Size criterion: >= 5 mm.[10][11]

Biopsy

Lung, Left Upper Lobe, Core Biopsy:
- Consistent with typical lung carcinoid.

Comment:
The tumour stains as follow:
POSITIVE: CK7, TTF-1 (very weak, focal), CD56, chromogranin A, synaptophysin.
NEGATIVE: p63.
PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): ~3% of tumour cells.

Excision

A. Lymph Node, Station 2L, Lymphadenectomy:
- Lymph node, NEGATIVE for malignancy.

B. Lymph Node, Station 4L, Lymphadenectomy:
- Lymph node, NEGATIVE for malignancy.

C. Lymph Node, Station 11L, Lymphadenectomy:
- Lymph node, NEGATIVE for malignancy.

D. Lung, Left Upper Lobe, Lobectomy:
- Typical carcinoid tumour (12 mm maximal dimension).
- Carcinoid tumourlet (2 mm maximal dimension).
- Margins clear of tumour.
- Please see tumour summary.
