The cellular structure of bronchial carcinoids.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A histological and electronmicroscopic study of bronchial carcinoids indicated that these tumours are argyrophilic in keeping with their occurrence in tissue of embryologically foregut origin. Normal bronchi contain cells that resemble, in their electronmicroscopic content, intestinal Kultschitzky-type cells. Characteristic of the carcinoid cell is the presence of intracellular neurosecretory granules seen on electronmicroscopy despite the apparent absence of argentaffin granules under light microscopy.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Flexible Bronchoscopic Treatment for Bronchial Carcinoids with Curative Intent
Background. Typical pulmonary carcinoids represent less than 5% of primary lung tumors. In patients with typical bronchial carcinoid, formal surgical resection still remains the gold-standard treatment. Data regarding long-term outcome in using flexible bronchoscope-based modalities under conscious sedation is very limited. Objectives. We sought to investigate, over extended follow-up period, t...
متن کاملCombined Bronchial Artery Embolization and Endobronchial Resection for Bronchial Carcinoid: A Safety and Feasibility Pilot Study.
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence to support bronchoscopic resection of well-circumscribed typical carcinoids. However, massive bleeding and risk of recurrence can potentially complicate this approach. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of endobronchial resection of carcinoids preceded by bronchial artery embolization. METHODS Five patients with cen...
متن کاملmTOR inhibition, a potential novel approach for bronchial carcinoids.
Although targeted therapy, including inhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and vascular endothelial growth factor, being developed for carcinoids arised from the gastrointestinal tract, treatment for locally advanced or metastatic bronchial carcinoids (BCs) remains lacking. Traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy offers essentially minimal benefit to this largely under-characterized tum...
متن کاملTumours of the lung and the carcinoid syndrome.
The majority of bronchial adenomas show a histological structure usually described as carcinoid in type. Until recently the term " carcinoid " used in this way was meant to be descriptive only, on the understanding that this tumour bore no relationship to the better-known carcinoids of the alimentary tract. This sharp distinction has been challenged histologically by Feyrter (1959a) and on func...
متن کاملBronchoscopic treatment with argon plasma coagulation for recurrent typical carcinoids: report of a case.
Carcinoid tumors are recognized as a low-grade malignancy. Recurrence of bronchopulmonary typical carcinoids is extremely rare. We herein report a case of recurrent multiple intraluminal bronchial typical carcinoids that were successfully removed using argon plasma coagulation by bronchoscopic approach. A 48-year-old man, who had undergone resection of a pulmonary typical carcinoid 8 years prev...
