摘要: A melanin- and serotonin-producing bronchial carcinoid tumor is described. Melanin synthesis by neoplastic cells also containing electron-dense core (neurosecretory granules was documented electron microscopy serotonin content found biochemical assay to be 201.2 micrograms/g wet weight of tissue. Simultaneous demonstration "endocrine" properties with characteristics a cell neural-crest origin provides strongly confirmatory evidence for the APUD theory Pearse makes an interesting commentary in regard general theories neoplasia.
