Abstract
Molecular analysis of a metastatic lesion of an atypical carcinoid tumor of the lung obtained from a 77-year-old man at autopsy revealed a point mutation in the p53 gene and a deletion in the retinoblastoma (Rb) mRNA. This case suggests that both these antioncogenes may be involved in the progression of atypical carcinoid tumor.
