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

Presentation:[8]

  • Cough.
  • Hemoptysis.

Treatment:

  • Location - central airways (85%), remainder peripheral.[10]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Nests of cells.
    • Stippled chromatin.
    • Scant-to-moderate cytoplasm.
  • Nuclei round or ellipsoid.

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:
