Overview

Based on location of tumor, carcinoid tumor may be classified into either foregut, midgut or hindgut carcinoid tumors.

Classification

Classification of carcinoid tumors is based generally on the location in the primitive gut that gives rise to the tumor:

  • Foregut carcinoid tumors
  • Midgut carcinoid tumors
  • Hindgut carcinoid tumors

Carcinoid tumours of the lung can be divided into the two groups dependent on histology as follows:[1]

  • Typical carcinoid tumours of the lung
  • Atypical carcinoid tumours of the lung

Carcinoid tumours of the lung can also be divided into two groups dependent on location as follows:

  • Bronchial carcinoid tumours: central lesions
  • Peripheral pulmonary carcinoid tumours: peripheral lesions
