Pathological classification of neuroendocrine neoplasms: comparison between the editions of WHO 2010 and 2019.

WHO 2010 Ki-67 Index Mitotic count /10 HPF WHO 2019 Ki-67 Index Mitotic rate (mitoses/2 mm2)
Well-differentiated NENs Well-differentiated NENs
 NET grade 1 <3 <2 NET grade 1 <3 <2
 NET grade 2 3–20 2–20 NET grade 2 3–20 2–20
NET grade 3 >20 >20
Poorly differentiated NENs Poorly differentiated NENs
 NEC grade 3 >20 >20 NEC grade 3 >20 >20
MANECs MiNENs

HPF = high power fields, MANEC = mixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinoma, MiNEN = mixed endocrine non-endocrine neoplasm, NEC = neuroendocrine carcinoma, NEN = neuroendocrine neoplasm, NET = neuroendocrine tumor, WHO = World Health Organization.
