Preferred Label : Thymic Neuroendocrine Tumor;

NCIt synonyms : Thymic Carcinoid; Carcinoid Tumor of the Thymus; Thymus Carcinoid; Carcinoid Tumor of Thymus; Thymus Carcinoid Tumor; Thymic Carcinoid Tumor;

NCIt definition : A well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasm that arises from the thymus and is often associated with Cushing syndrome. Two morphologic subtypes are recognized: grade 1 (G1-typical carcinoid tumor) and grade 2 (G2-atypical carcinoid tumor). Grade 2 neuroendocrine tumors have a more aggressive clinical course;

Neoplastic status : Undetermined;
