Descriptor carcinoma neuroendocrino
Scope note: Grupo de carcinomas que comparten una característica morfológica, y están compuestos a menudo por conglomerados y láminas trabeculares de "células azules" redondas, cromatina granular, y un reborde de citoplasma atenuado y mal delimitado. Los tumores neuroendocrinos incluyen a los carcinoides, carcinomas microcíticos ("células en avena"), carcinoma medular tiroideo, tumor de células de Merkel, carcinoma neuroendocrino cutáneo, tumores de células de los islotes pancreáticos y feocromocitoma. Los gránulos neurosecretores se encuentran dentro de las células tumorales. (Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)"

Scope note: A group of carcinomas which share a characteristic morphology, often being composed of clusters and trabecular sheets of round "blue cells", granular chromatin, and an attenuated rim of poorly demarcated cytoplasm. Neuroendocrine tumors include carcinoids, small ("oat") cell carcinomas, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, Merkel cell tumor, cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma, pancreatic islet cell tumors, and pheochromocytoma. Neurosecretory granules are found within the tumor cells. (Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)
