Abstract
Lung carcinoids fall in the most indolent extreme of the spectrum of lung neuroendocrine tumors, being considered malignancies with a favorable prognosis. They can be subdivided histologically in typical and atypical carcinoids and this classification difference reflects on the rates of recurrence and metastasis, with atypical carcinoids being slightly more aggressive that typical ones.The main goal of this study is to assess the differences in prognosis between typical and atypical carcinoids and potential criteria that should raise our awareness and prolong the follow-up time of our patients.
