Sep 24, 2023 · Learn about the epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathology and radiographic features of bronchial carcinoid tumors, a type of neuroendocrine neoplasm. Find out how to distinguish them from other lung lesions using CT, PET-CT and gallium-68 DOTATATE scans.
Lung carcinoid tumors are a rare type of lung cancer that starts in neuroendocrine cells. They can be typical or atypical, depending on how fast they grow and how likely they are to spread. Learn more about the location, diagnosis, and treatment of lung carcinoid tumors.
Bronchial carcinoids are rare, slow-growing tumors of the lining of the airways (bronchi). Carcinoid tumors (sometimes called neuroendocrine tumors) usually originate in hormone-producing cells that line the small intestine or other parts of the digestive tract, but they can also occur in the passageways in the lungs (bronchi) and in other organs.
Bronchial carcinoids are rare (1 to 2% of all lung cancers in adults), slow-growing, neuroendocrine tumors arising from bronchial mucosa; they affect patients in their 40s to 60s. Carcinoid tumors develop from neuroendocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract (90%), pancreas, pulmonary bronchi, and rarely the genitourinary tract.
Jun 15, 2023 · Pulmonary carcinoid tumors are uncommon neuroendocrine epithelial malignancies accounting for less than 1% of all lung cancers. They divide into two subcategories: typical carcinoids and atypical carcinoids.
