Bronchial adenoma of carcinoid type with distant metastases.
نویسنده
چکیده
Most authors agree with the subdivision of the broad general group into two main types : (1) the cylindroid, or cylindromatous form; (2) the carcinoid form. Considering the large number of bronchial adenomas reported, it is surprising to find only a few with distant or disseminated metastases. Survey of the available literature reveals that the adenomas producing distant metastases have been almost exclusively of the cylindroid type. During a recent study a most unusual case of the carcinoid form with distant metastases was observed. Because of the rarity it is believed worthy of presentation.

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 کاملPrognostic markers in patients with typical bronchial carcinoid tumors.
Typical bronchial carcinoids are usually considered fairly benign tumors. Metastases do however occur, and up to 10% of the patients ultimately die from their disease. To identify prognostic markers, we immunostained 43 typical bronchial carcinoids with antibodies against 8 possibly relevant hormones, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, adhesion molecules, and proliferation markers. Altogether 1...
