Abstract: In 1907, the pathologist Siegfried Oberndorfer first coined the term “carcinoid” to describe neoplasms located in the submucosa of the ileum (Oberndorfer 1907). These small intestinal neoplasms were typically small and often multifocal. Their borders were well circumscribed. Although he initially erroneously asserted that carcinoid tumors did not metastasize, he later recognized their malignant potential.
