Abstract
- Clinical Issue: Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung are a heterogenous tumor group. The pathological classification comprises diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia, classic neuroendocrine tumors, and neuroendocrine carcinoma. Classic neuroendocrine tumors include typical and atypical carcinoid tumors.<br />Diagnostic Work-Up: Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and can help in identifying the tumor biology. Overall, this tumor group is rare, comprising less than 2% of all thoracic tumors.<br />Practical Recommendations: In the current review, the various tumors are presented and important aspects regarding pathological classification, imaging modalities, and treatment are described.<br /> (© 2024.
