title: Diffuse intrapulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia.
abstract: Diffuse intrapulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia is a rare, potential precursor lesion to typical pulmonary carcinoid tumours. Fewer than 50 cases have been reported in the literature. Their pathogenesis, clinical significance and management is controversial. A patient who presented with diffuse intrapulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia associated with a primary typical carcinoid tumour of the lung is reported.
