Overview
- According to the World Health Organization, neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are classified into two broad categories namely, well differentiated and poorly differentiated. On the basis of histopathological analysis, most gastrinomas are considered well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
Classiffication
- Gastrinomas are generally classified under the larger entity, "neuroendocrine tumors" (NETs).
- Among the enteroendocrine cells that arise from the embryologic endoderm, the gastrinomas are derived mainly from the pancreas, and also from the proximal small intestine. [1]
- According to the World Health Organization, neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are classified into two broad categories; well differentiated, and poorly differentiated gastrinomas. On the basis of histopathological analysis, most of the gastrinomas are considered well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). [2]
- The WHO (2010) classified all neuroendocrine tumors, including gastrinomas into three grades based on the mitotic rate, or Ki-67 index: [3]
Grade Diffrentiation Mitotic range Ki-67 index Behavior WHO category G1 Low grade well-differentiated < 2 < 3% (10% to 30%) Uncertain Neuroendocrine tumor G2 Intermediate grade, well-differentiated 2 to 20 3% to 20% (50% to 80%) Low-grade malignant Neuroendocrine tumor G3 High grade, poorly differentiated > 20 > 20% (1% to 3%) High-grade malignant Neuroendocrine carcinoma
