Carcinoid tumor is the lower grade end of the spectrum of neuroendocrine tumors in the lung.
Caution: lung terminology is different from GI tract terminology

In the lung, the terminology is
✴️ Typical carcinoid tumor
✴️ Atypical carcinoid tumor
✴️ Small cell carcinoma
✴️ Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma
We don’t terms such as “well differentiated NET” because...this is #pulmpath and we are special 😜

Carcinoid tumors are very similar on H&E to low grade NE tumors in the GI tract or pancreas. Nesting, odd patterns, bland cytology, granular chromatin (“salt and pepper”)
