of cases&#46; While there is some ongoing debate as to whether these S-100 protein positive cells are mesenchymal or neuroendocrine in origin&#44; it is generally agreed that they are not a distinguishing feature of paragangliomas&#46; As the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology criteria suggest&#44; cytokeratin can aid in the distinction between a PPP and a carcinoid&#44; but is not absolutely diagnostic&#46; As expected&#44; nearly 100&#37; of bronchial carcinoids&#44; despite their degree of differentiation&#44; will be positive for cytokeratins&#46; Some previous cases had positive staining for cytokeratin&#59; therefore&#44; they are more consistent with a carcinoid tumor&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib8"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> The most recent World Health Organization classification has corrected the confusion by defining the meningoendothelial nodule and paraganglioma as entirely separate entities&#46;
