New Presentation Of Neuroendocrine Carcinoma Of The Lung

Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours make up 20-25% of lung malignancies. They include carcinoid, large-cell, and small-cell carcinomas. These tumours often present with recurrent infections, chest pain, cough (with or without haemoptysis) and dyspnoea. They can often be asymptomatic, and picked up incidentally.
