The pathological definition published by the World Health Organization is “a generalized proliferation of scattered single cells, small nodules (neuroendocrine bodies), or linear proliferations of pulmonary neuroendocrine (PNE) cells that may be confined to the bronchial and bronchiolar epithelium.” [1] The true prevalence of this disease ...
Neuroendocrine hyperplasia is a rare condition amongst chILD. This condition is characterized as an overgrowth of pulmonary endocrine cells in the lungs. These cells receive signals from neurons to produce hormones. With this rapid increase of PNC (pulmonary endocrine cells), this can affect the airways of children. [3]
Low-grade nodular neuroendocrine proliferations ≥ 0.5 cm are classified as carcinoid tumors and smaller ones are called pulmonary tumorlets. When neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia and tumorlets are extensive, they represent the rare preinvasive lesion for carcinoids known as " diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia ".

An example of a neuroendocrine cell is a cell of the adrenal medulla (innermost part of the adrenal gland), which releases adrenaline to the blood. The adrenal medullary cells are controlled by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. These cells are modified postganglionic neurons. Autonomic nerve fibers lead directly to them ...
Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia: A very rare condition characterized by generalized proliferation of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells. It manifests as progressive cough and dyspnea. It is considered a precursor for pulmonary carcinoid tumor. 1 list: Lacunar amnesia: AMNESIA LACUNAR 1 list: Atelosteogenesis type I: AO1 ...

Carcinoid syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome comprising the signs and symptoms that occur secondary to neuroendocrine tumors (formerly known as carcinoid tumors). [1] The syndrome is caused by neuroendocrine tumors most often found in the gut releasing biologically active substances into the blood causing symptoms such as flushing and diarrhea, and less frequently, heart failure, vomiting ...
