Background/Aims: We re-evaluated the clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) diagnosed in our pathology laboratory between 2004 and 2012 and re-classified them according to the WHO-2000 and WHO-2010 criteria. Methodology: The study included NET samples of 106 patients having gastroenteropancreatic and hepatobiliary tumors. The histopathological findings were re-assessed. The cases were re-appraised based on the WHO-2000 and WHO-2010 criteria. The association between survival and Ki-67 index was analysed. Results: The most frequent localization was the stomach, The average tumor size was 3.0 +/- 4.1 cm. Differentiation was poor in 17 cases (16.0%). Lymphovascular invasion was detected in 16.1% (n=17) and necrosis was identified in 15.1% (n=16). The average number of Ki-67 was 9.1 +/- 19.9. Ki-67 measurements were significantly higher in patients who died compared to those who survived (p <0.01). In ROC analysis, the cut-off point for Ki-67 was 5. Conclusions: Our study is a single-center study comprising patients from Turkey for a period of 8 years. We found that the most frequent localization is the stomach. This ratio is associated with common use of endoscopy in our center. The specimens were re-evaluated according to the WHO-2000 and WHO-2010 classification systems the data and terminology have been updated.
