Pathology of neuroendocrine tumours.
Here we review the pathologic features of a specialized tumor subset, collectively referred to as neuroendocrine tumors. These tumors arise almost anywhere in the body but many issues regarding their diagnosis and classification remain to be settled. Recent technical improvements, have increased the rate of detection, and have contributed to better diagnosis and classification of these tumors.
