Correct answer:

This lesion was supposed to be a malignant carcinoid tumour, but it was not. Chromogranin A was normal and so was 5-HIAA-urinary collection. Histologically this tumour was a malignant sarcoma, and it was not possible to differentiate between the different types of sarcomas from the small biopsy samples. But, it could have been a carcinoid, as very many of You have suggested, and these answers are considered correct. It is of course not possible to make a microscopic diagnosis on a macroscopic finding.
