Carcinoid tumors of the lung are a subgroup of neuroendocrine tumors of the lung, of lower grade than small cell carcinoma of the lung and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung.

For a general discussion, please refer to the article on carcinoid tumors.

Pathology

Classification

Carcinoid tumors can be divided into two groups dependent on location:

• bronchial carcinoid tumors: central lesions
• peripheral pulmonary carcinoid tumors: peripheral lesions

Carcinoid tumors also can be divided into the two groups dependent on histology (requires resected specimen rather than biopsy ) as follows:

• typical carcinoid tumors of the lung
  • some reports describe this type as being more common
  • low grade/well-differentiated  
• atypical carcinoid tumors of the lung
  • less well-differentiated
  • more aggressive

Radiographic features

Please refer to location-dependent subtypes above.
