“…The association between sarcoidosis and different types of malignancies has been previously described [2–10]. Carcinoid or neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare tumours and association with sarcoidosis has been reported in the literature [11–25]. NETs can arise from any organ but most commonly from lung and small intestine [26].…”

Rare cases of co‐existing sarcoidosis and carcinoid tumour have been previously reported in the literature. Both diseases may have vague and overlapping clinical presentations that can lead to delayed or missed diagnosis. To avoid this diagnostic pitfall, we discuss and compare the clinical presentations of all reported cases in the literature including our case. We also provide hypothesis to explain the relationship between the two diseases.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms are an important subcategory of tumours encountered in gastrointestinal tract and lung. Previously known as 'Carcinoid tumours', Considerable confusions prevailed regarding the nomenclature, diagnostic categories as well as prognostic classication of this group of tumours; until recently, in 2018, a uniform framework of classication was attempted by WHO. Here, we discuss nine cases of neuroendocrine neoplasms of GI tract diagnosed in our Institution over past two years, focussing on the application of this classication system, the key concepts behind it and also the points to be addressed in critical scenarios while making a diagnosis. A fascinating case of coexistent neuroendocrine carcinoma and intestinal tuberculosis is specially highlighted in this article, as probably, it is the rst case reported of its genre till now, as far our knowledge goes.
