“…Only one carcinoid was diagnosed in a cumulative 577 EBUS procedures. [1013] Carcinoid tumors comprise 1–5% of all lung malignancies,[1415] so these lesions are clearly underrepresented in EBUS cohorts. This significantly lower-than-expected proportion of carcinoids confirms the difficulties in bronchoscopic diagnosis of peripheral carcinoid tumors.…”

“…While 5-year survival from typical carcinoid tumors is as much as 91%,[14] delay in diagnosis is undesirable as regional lymph node involvement is seen in 10%[15] and is associated with adverse outcomes, even in typical carcinoid tumors. [14] Distant metastases are seen in 1.5% of cases.…”

“…Although several described radiologic and clinical symptoms correlate with neuroendocrine differentiation, the correspondence between the bronchoscopic biopsy findings and the final diagnosis is weak in atypical carcinoids (moderately differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas), in which some malignancy other than carcinoid is often suspected. 11,12 The diagnostic accuracy is generally low also on cytopathologic specimens, on both bronchial washings 13 and FNAC samples. 2 These difficulties may be related in part to the bland cytologic appearance of some of these neoplasms, to their generally poor cellularity and in part to possible sampling problems with central lesions.…”

“…Desde un punto de vista epidemiológico, los CNCG son más frecuentes en varones mayores de 60 años, y están, en general, relacionados con el há-bito tabáquico 6,[24][25][26][27] . En nuestros pacientes, la edad media fue de 66 años, hubo también predominio de varones y relación con el tabaquismo (100% fumadores).…”
