Abstract
Immunohistochemical identification of neuroendocrine tumour markers in paraffin embedded material from 22 tumours (5 small cell carcinomas of the lung (SCCL), 12 carcinoids, 2 medullary thyroid carcinomas, 2 pheochromocytomas and one paraganglioma) with electron microscopically verified dense-core granules revealed neuron-specific enolase in all but one tumour, synaptophsin in 15/22 (2 SCCL and 6 carcinoids negative), chromogranin in 16/22 (all SCCL and one carcinoid negative), and endocrine granule constituent in 18/22 (4 SCCL negative). The Grimelius silver methods stained 13/22 (all cases of SCCL and 4 carcinoids negative).
