[Contribution of computer tomography to the diagnosis of bronchial carcinoids]. 1984

R König, and G van Kaick, and H Toomes

The CT findings in 10 patients with carcinoid tumors of the lung (highly differentiated in 8 cases, undifferentiated in 2 cases) are reported. The tumors were located in the hilar region (n = 4), in the perihilar region (n = 3) and in the periphery of the lung (n = 3). Dystelectasis and atelectasis of the lung with poststenotic inflammation were found in 4 patients. Infiltrating tumor growth with lymph node metastases were detected only once; this tumor was not able to be differentiated from other malignant space occupying lesions. There were no reliable CT criteria for bronchial carcinoids. Compared to conventional radiography the CT examination has the following advantages: better demonstration of size and location of the tumor, and the exclusion of infiltrating tumor growth, enlarged lymph nodes and calcified lung nodules.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.
