Sommario/riassunto

This atlas provides descriptive information on the cytopathology of neuroendocrine tumor types and differential diagnoses. It addresses the wide distribution of the neuroendocrine cells in the body and provides detailed descriptions of the morphologic spectrum of the neoplasms (including different terminologies), and their immunocytohistochemical properties, associated ultrastructural



findings, secretory products, and their association with many hereditary syndromes.
