Argyrophilic carcinoids were found in 2 Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). A solitary neoplasm was located in the glandular stomach of a 25.5-month-old animal that had ingested for 12 months laboratory chow to which arecoline and calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] had been added. In the other hamster, a primary carcinoid of the pancreas had metastasized to the mesenteric lymph nodes and liver; this was in a 22-month-old animal that had ingested for 16 months chow containing added snuff and Ca(OH)I. It is not known whether the carcinoids were spontaneous or induced by the treatment. Argyrophilic carcinoids have previously been reported in only one other rodent species.

Introduction And Importance: To describe an unusual case with a primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumour (PHNET) with multiple liver metastases.
Case Presentation: We reported a 65-year-old woman with PHNET with multiple liver metastases. She was highly suspected of having primary liver cancer with multiple intrahepatic metastases before liver biopsy, but was diagnosed with PHNET with multiple liver metastases after histopathology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) examinations.
Malignant Brenner tumor of the ovary with transformation to trabecular carcinoid: an immunocytochemical and electron microscopic study.

Ovarian Brenner tumors are typically of surface epithelial-stromal origin; however, cases associated with mature cystic teratoma and/or struma ovarii possibly have a teratomatous derivation. Although argyrophil cells have been described in ovarian Brenner tumors and in urinary bladder epithelium, we are not aware of any previous reports of carcinoid arising from a malignant Brenner tumor of the ovary. In this study, we describe an 85-year-old woman who had a low-grade malignant Brenner tumor with progressive proliferation of neuroendocrine cells and transformation to trabecular carcinoid as demonstrated by immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy.

The author reports an extremely rare case of atypical carcinoid of the pleura expressing KIT. An 81-year-old Japanese man with emphysema was found to have a mass (3×3×2 cm) in the left parietal pleura by various imaging modalities. Video-assisted tumorectomy was performed, but could not excise it completely.

A carcinoid tumour in the liver of a red deer hind (Cervus elaphus) is described. Macroscopically, the liver was considerably enlarged with multifocal, firm, yellow and red nodular neoplastic masses, which were histopathologically diagnosed as hepatic carcinoids. The diagnosis was confirmed by modified Grimelius staining, which demonstrated numerous small argyrophilic granules in the cytoplasm of neoplastic cells, and by immunohistochemistry.
