Neuroendocrine tumor
All neoplasms arising from enterochromaffin cells
Not all neuroendocrine tumors are carcinoids, therefore term "neuroendocrine tumor" should be used carefully
Definitions
Low-grade malignant neuroendocrine neoplasm with metastatic potential
Arises from enterochromaffin cells normally scattered throughout bronchial mucosa
Gastrointestinal tract carcinoids account for approximately 90% of all carcinoids
