Overview
Carcinoid syndrome was first described by Siegfried Oberndorfer, a German pathologist in 1907. Endocrine related properties of carcinoid syndrome was described by Gosset and Masson in 1914.[1]
Historical Perspective
- Theodor Langhans (1839–1915) was the first to describe the histology of a carcinoid tumor in 1867.
- The term Carcinoid was given by Siegfried Oberndorfer, a German pathologist at the University of Munich in 1907.
- Siegfried Oberndorfer refered the carcinoid tumor as "benign carcinomas" as they had distinct clinical entities and named them "karzinoide"(carcinoma-like).
- Karzinoide or “carcinoma-like” describes the unique feature of behaving like a benign tumor despite resembling a carcinoma microscopically.
- Rapport and colleagues isolated and named serotonin (5-HT), initially identified as a vasoconstrictor substance in the serum.[2]
- Enterochromaffin cell, cell of origin of carcinoid tumour had been identified as early as 1897 by N. Kulchitsky (1856-1925).
- F. Lembeck in 1953 established that enterochromaffin cells synthesizes and secretes serotonin and a major hormone responsible for carcinoid syndrome.[3][4]
