Crypt cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine tumour with goblet cell differentiation
Micrograph showing a goblet cell carcinoid. H&E stain.
The goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) is a rare biphasic gastrointestinal tract tumour that consists of a neuroendocrine component and a conventional carcinoma, histologically arising from Paneth cells.[1]
