A lung carcinoid tumor is a type of cancerous tumor made up of neuroendocrine cells. These cells are found throughout the body, including the lungs. They are similar to endocrine cells because both produce hormones or hormone-like substances.

In 1907, Oberndorfer said carcinoid tumors were a “benign carcinoma,” which would not grow or metastasize into nearby tissues and organs. Two decades later, he updated his research to say carcinoid tumors could be cancerous and spread to the small bowel.
In general, typical carcinoids tend to grow slowly, and chemotherapy is often not very successful. If you have only a small number of tumors that can be removed, surgery (both on the lung and at the site of metastasis) is likely to be your best option. Lung carcinoid tumors usually spread to the liver first.
Bronchial carcinoids are uncommon, slow growing, low-grade malignant neoplasms comprising 1-2% of all primary lung cancers. They are thought to arise from neuroendocrine/Kulchitsky's cells of bronchial epithelium. Histological features range from low-grade typical to more aggressive atypical carcinoids.
Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are rare tumors that can arise anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. They often present in advanced stage and portend a poor prognosis when compared to adenocarcinomas of the same stage.
Carcinoid tumors often grow very slowly. In children and young adults, carcinoid tumors are most often found in the appendix, called appendiceal carcinoid tumors, or in the lungs, called bronchial tumors. In adults, carcinoid tumors are most often found in the digestive tract.
Overview. Neuroendocrine tumors are cancers that begin in specialized cells called neuroendocrine cells. Neuroendocrine cells have traits similar to those of nerve cells and hormone-producing cells. Neuroendocrine tumors are rare and can occur anywhere in the body.
Carcinoid tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign carcinoid tumors are typically small and usually can be removed completely and, in most cases, they do not come back. Cells from benign carcinoid tumors do not spread to other parts of the body.
A lung carcinoid tumor (also called pulmonary carcinoid tumor or pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor) is a lung tumor made up of neuroendocrine cells, which are found throughout the body. These tumors can form in different organs, not just in the lungs. Up to 1 in 4 of all carcinoid tumors are found in the lungs.
Chest X-ray, CT scan, and MRI scan are all useful in diagnosis. These imaging tests can show how big the tumor is and if it has spread. Octreotide scan. This special scan is commonly used to find carcinoid tumors.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.

Sarcoma is a malignancy that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a malignancy that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.
