Overview

Carcinoid tumor of the gastrointestinal tract may be classified based on the location in the primitive gut into three subtypes (foregut, midgut, or hindgut carcinoid tumors).

Classification

1. Carcinoid tumor in the gastrointestinal tract

Carcinoid tumor of the gastrointestinal tract may be classified based on the location in the primitive gut into three subtypes:

2. Carcinoid tumor in the lung

Based on the histology

Carcinoid tumor of the lung may be classified based on the histology into two subtypes:[1]

  • Typical carcinoid tumors of the lung
  • Atypical carcinoid tumors of the lung

Based on the location

Carcinoid tumor of the lung may be classified based on the location into two subtypes:

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

3. Carcinoid tumor in the ovary

Carcinoid tumor of the ovary may be classified into four subtypes:[2]

  • Insular type (most common)
  • Trabecular type
  • Strumal type
  • Mucinous type (goblet cell 4)
