A clinical and "blind" histologic review of 82 cases of @entity5 is presented. The malignant potential of the @entity5 was only partly predictable from their histologic appearance. Histologically 65 of the @entity5 were typical benign @entity4303 . Regional @entity3 were found at operation in two of these @entity1 . Fatal @entity4303 with regional and distant @entity3 appeared in two @entity1 about 1 and 3 years postoperatively. One of the @entity1 with regional @entity3 at operation is clinically free from carcinoid 12 years later. @entity5 was histologically suspected in 17 cases, in ten of which regional @entity3 were found at operation. Three of these ten @entity1 are alive 6 to 16 years postoperatively, but two without regional @entity3 at operation died of local recurrence and distant @entity3 after 3 to 4 years. @entity4303 was not seen in these 17 @entity1 . There was one peroperative @entity204 . Altogether ten @entity1 (12%) died of recurrence. Among the cases judged at the "blind" histologic review to be suspectedly malignant, the corresponding figure was 50%. For typical @entity4303 , conservative resection, including lymph-node @entity3 , is the treatment of choice. Wedge or sleeve resection with or without pulmonary resection were employed in ten cases. Suspectedly @entity5 may require more extensive surgery.
