The frequency of neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia in patients with pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours and non‐neuroendocrine cell carcinomas

Aims:  To evaluate the frequency of neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (NEH) in resected neuroendocrine tumours and non‐neuroendocrine cell carcinomas and to study its relationship to selected clinical parameters.
