  • Title: Bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors--a significant diagnostic problem.
    Author: Kedra P, Jeleń M, Szkudlarek-Gruszczyńska T, Leśkow E.
    Journal: Rocz Akad Med Bialymst; 1997; 42 Suppl 1():146-61. PubMed ID: 9337533.
    Abstract:
    The problems with classification and diagnosis of bronchopulmonary carcinoid and other neuroendocrine tumors are described in this paper. Single neuroendocrine cells and so-called neuroepithelial bodies found in normal bronchial epithelium are currently believed to constitute pulmonary components of an extensive neuroendocrine system. In view these opinions, it has appeared a need for a new, standardized nomenclature. Hence presently suggested classification of neuroendocrine carcinomas taking into account their histological structure, immunohistochemical as well as prognostic features starting from carcinoid tumors to small cell anaplastic carcinomas-includes three types of neoplasms.
