Neuroendocrine hyperplasia
Neuroendocrine hyperplasia is a progressive hyperplastic process that ultimately results in obliterative fibrosis of predominantly the pulmonary tree (the lungs). It is characterized by tachypnea, hypoxia, and retractions.[1] There is no currently recognized treatment for the relentless progression of this disorder.
