In a 63-yr-old male endoscopy revealed an occlusive submucosal tumor in the upper esophagus. The surgically enucleated tumor was identified histologically and immunohistochemically as a carcinoid. The tumor had no endocrine activity. The localisation of these tumors in the esophagus is an extremely rare condition.

A novel molecular classification for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been established utilizing the transcription factors achaete-scute homologue 1 (ASCL1), neurogenic differentiation factor 1 (NeuroD1), POU class 2 homeobox 3 (POU2F3), and yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1). This classification was predicated on the transcription factors. Conversely, there is a paucity of information regarding the distribution of these markers in other subtypes of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (PNET).

Horseshoe kidney is a rare congenital anomaly with an unusually higher frequency of neuroendocrine tumors. Symptoms are rare, and, in most of the cases, are incidentally diagnosed. The clinical behavior of these tumors is heterogeneous and can be difficult to predict based on histology alone.

Introduction: Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, with 2 million new cases annually. Bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (BP-NETs) comprise about 20 % of lung cancers, including typical carcinoid tumors (TC). While tobacco is a primary risk factor, non-tobacco factors also play a role.
