Abstract:: The clinicopathological features of lung neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) with a high proliferative index at the border area between atypical carcinoid and neuroendocrine carcinoma have not been investigated so far. The aim of this study was, therefore, to search for lung NENs which are well differentiated but show Ki67 values that overlap with those of poorly differentiated (PD)-NENs. Resected lung NENs from 244 Japanese patients were reviewed, and Ki67 indices were assessed in all tumors. The data were then correlated to clinicopathological parameters and patient outcome. Among 59 (24%) well-differentiated (WD)-NENs and 185 (76%) lung PD-NENs, 7 were defined as WD-NENs with Ki67 indices > 20%. The Ki67 indices of these tumors (mean 29%, range 24-36) were significantly lower than those of PD-NENs (mean 74%, range 34-99). All WD-NENs with Ki67 > 20% lacked abnormal p53 and loss of retinoblastoma 1 (Rb1) expression. In contrast, many PD-NENs expressed p53 (48%) and showed loss of Rb1 (86%). The 2- and 5-year disease-free survival rates in WD-NEN patients with Ki67 > 20% were lower than those of WD-NEN patients with Ki67 <=20% (p < 0.01 for disease-free and overall survival). No statistical differences were detected between outcome of WD-NEN patients with Ki67 > 20% and those of PD-NEN. It is concluded that WD-NEN patients with Ki67 > 20% share the morphological and immunohistochemical features of WD-NEN patients with Ki67 <=20%, but they have a worse prognosis, suggesting that this tumor group requires particular attention in future classifications and probably new therapeutic regimes.
