Harrison 16th edition (page 2273)
Carcinoid tumors can occur in almost any GI tissue; however, at present most (70%) originate from one of three sites: bronchus, jejuno-ileum, or colon/rectum. In the past, carcinoid tumors most frequently occurred in the appendix (i.e., 40%); however, the bronchus/lung and small intestine are now the most common sites. Overall, GI carcinoids are the most common site for these tumors, comprising 64%, with the respiratory tract a distant second at 28%.
