Abstract
Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung are aheterogenous tumor group. The pathological classification comprises diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia, classic neuroendocrine tumors, and neuroendocrine carcinoma. Classic neuroendocrine tumors include typical and atypical carcinoid tumors. Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and can help in identifying the tumor biology. Overall, this tumor group is rare, comprising less than 2% of all thoracic tumors. In the current review, the various tumors are presented and important aspects regarding pathological classification, imaging modalities, and treatment are described.
