transition zone. Original magnification ×100. (B) Carcinoid tumor showing the classical
architectural pattern of trabecular nests of monotonous small round cells with peripheral
palisading. Original magnification ×200. (C) Carcinoid tumor showing the classical
architectural pattern of anastomosing ribbon-like nests of monotonous small round
cells. Original magnification ×200. (D) Carcinoid tumor showing the classical cytologic
features of fine granular "salt-and-pepper" chromatin pattern. Original magnification
