Atypical carcinoid lung tumour, also atypical carcinoid, is an uncommon lung tumour with a poor outcome.
General
- Approximately 20% of lung carcinoids.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Nests of cells.
- Stippled chromatin.
- Mild-to-moderate amount of cytoplasm.
- No necrosis/focal necrosis.
- Moderate mitotic rate (2-10/HPF - definition suffers from HPFitis).
DDx:
IHC
- Ki-67 ~17% (range 10-26%).[3]
Note:
- Typical carcinoid is considerably lower ~2% (range 0-7%) and large cell neuroendocrine considerable higher ~81% (range 63-92%).[3]
