ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Argentaffi noma (Carcinoid) is neuroendocrine neoplasm being able to develop in diff erent organs of the body. The morbidity rate is taking out about 1 - 2 cases to 100 000 persons per year.

Material and Methods:
The aim of this study was to describe characteristic features of carcinoids’ group diagnosed in Institute of Pathomorphology in Zabrze. This research was based on analysis of 61 histopatological slides. In preparations a type of carcinoids were being assessed.

Results:
• 61 cases were analysed (43 from women, 18 from men) • In the examination there were recognised 34 typical and 16 atypical carcinoids of bronchi and 9 invasive and 1 noninvasive carcinoid within the scope of the digestive system • The medium age of patients amounted to 52.5 ± 13.6 • In studied cases a relation is appearing between the type of the carcinoid and the location and with presence of metastases and also the location and the district blood count

Conclusions:
Carcinoid is a rarely recognised type of neoplasm. Histologic type, location in the body and the age and sex of the patient determine the clinic features of this neoplasm.
