title: [Carcinoid tumors, adenoid-cystic carcinomas and muco-epidermoid carcinomas of the tracheo-bronchial tree (author's transl)].
abstract: A retrospective study of 25 cases with a so-called bronchial adenoma was made. Classification by this old-fashioned nomenclature included 76% carcinoid tumors, 20% adenoid-cystic carcinomas and 4% muco-epidermoid carcinomas of the trachea and bronchial tree. With regard to their malignant potential, the correlation between histological differentiation, invasiveness, metastatic spread and clinical evolution is discussed. An outline of the extent of therapy for each of the 3 types is given.
