Figure 3 Metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma. This metastasis from a primary endocrine carcinoma of the lung mimics a pituitary adenoma in architecture and cytology. Both lesions can be positive for synaptophysin and chromogranin; other markers are therefore required to establish the diagnosis. Strong nuclear positivity for thyroid transcription factor 1 (not shown) confirmed the diagnosis.
