Malignant fibrillocaveolated cell carcinoma of the human intestinal tract

PHB Carstens, WL Broghamer Jr, D Hire - Human pathology, 1976 - Elsevier
The ultrastructural features of a peculiar midgut carcinoid, containing cytoplasmic filaments,
fibrils, and caveolae, are presented. Because of the morphologic similarities between the
tumor cells and the recently described intestinal caveolated cell, it is proposed that the cells
of the reported carcinoid represent the malignant counterpart of this new type of cell. The
name suggested for this variant of a tumor of the enterochromaffin group of intestinal
endocrine cells is malignant fibrillocaveolated cell carcinoma.
