    AbstractNeuroendocrine neoplasms are classified according to the WHO classification based on morphological criteria into neuroendocrine tumors, neuroendocrine carcinomas, and mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms. Neuroendocrine tumors are well differentiated neoplasms and show characteristic site-specific histological and molecular features, which is important for their clinical management. In cases dealing with metastasis, pathology often can help to identify the primary tumors using a small immunohistochemical marker panel. Neuroendocrine carcinomas are poorly differentiated neoplasms. They are subdivided into neuroendocrine carcinomas of small cell and large cell type. The molecular profile of neuroendocrine carcinomas and mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms shows a close relationship to conventional adenocarcinomas with site-specific features. Molecular analysis of neuroendocrine carcinomas and neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms are not yet fully integrated in daily diagnostics and are mainly performed in the context of precision oncology.Thieme.
