Zebras in the lung
Abstract
Pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms are very rare comprising about 2% of all malignancies. They are a heterogeneous group of malignancies and are further subdivided based on tumour type, and proliferation index. These malignancies have characteristics of neural and endocrine properties. Their resemblance with small cell carcinoma may result in misdiagnosis and treatment-associated side effects. Here we present two cases of carcinoid tumours.
