CARCINOID TUMORS AND THE CARCINOID SYNDROME
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1969A bstract Data are presented on 10 cases of carcinoid tumor; 8 of the tumors were in the gastrointestinal tract and 2 in the lung. Two cases were associated with carcinoid syndrome (flushing attacks, diarrhea, bronchospasm); in one of these with marked symptoms, the 24‐hour ...

Appendiceal carcinoid with carcinoid syndrome
The American Journal of Surgery, 1964Abstract This case illustrates a primary carcinoid of the appendix with localized metastases at the time of original resection. The microscopic report of nerve sheath and blood vessel metastases hinted at the possibility of future distant metastases. That hepatic metastases (Fig.

SELECTED CASE A WOMAN was well until the age of 54 years when she developed asthma, which was treated with albuterol and steroids. Two years later she noticed intermittent diarrhea and flushing. When first seen, five years after the onset of asthma, she gave a history of flushing of the upper part of her body, a 4.5-kg weight loss, and diarrhea.

The carcinoid syndrome is an endocrine manifestation of neoplastic enterochromaffin cells. The humoral consequences of enterochromaffin carcinoid tumors include cutaneous flushing, diarrhea, valvular lesions of the right side of the heart, bronchoconstriction, and facial telangiectasia. Because these malignant tumors grow at a relatively slow rate, the

The spectrum of carcinoid tumours and carcinoid syndromes
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2003Carcinoids are neuroendocrine tumours of the gut which may also be found in the bronchus, pancreatic islets and retroperitoneum. They probably arise from gastrointestinal or bronchopulmonary pluripotential stem cells. Carcinoid tumours derived from these cells are potentially malignant; the strength of the tendency for aggressive growth correlates with

Histamine in carcinoid syndrome
Agents and Actions, 1988The exact etiology of carcinoid flushing remains unknown, but the symptoms are probably mediated through release of one or several humoral substances. Flushing seen in fore-gut carcinoids (gastric carcinoids) has been ascribed to excessive histamine release, whereas flushing seen in mid-gut carcinoids (ileal carcinoids) tentatively has been ascribed to

Management of carcinoid syndrome
Medical and Pediatric Oncology, 1979AbstractTwo patients who had severe carcinoid syndrome are presented. In one patient prednisone relieved symptoms for 20 months, and in the second patient chemotherapy appears to have precipitated fatal carcinoid crisis. Changes in mentation, increased frequency and intensity of flushing, and hypotension indicate increased risk of a chemotherapy ...

Carcinoid tumor and carcinoid syndrome
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2003Carcinoid tumors secrete many different types of substances (e.g. serotonin, bradykinin) that may produce potentially fatal intraoperative reactions such as hypotension and bronchoconstriction. The most effective treatment for the deleterious cardiovascular and pulmonary effects of serotonin and bradykinin is octreotide, a somatostatin analogue ...

Scleroderma and the carcinoid syndrome
Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 1994The follow up of a case of the carcinoid syndrome complicated by scleroderma is reported, in which progress of the disease may have been halted by treatment with a combination of cyproheptadine, parachlorophenylalanine and prednisolone. Impairment of tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) metabolism appears central to the development of skin ...

The malignant carcinoid syndrome is manifested by (1) paroxysmal flushing, (2) chronic diarrhea, (3) respiratory distress, and (4) valvular heart disease. These abnormalities result from a marked increase in the amount of circulating serotonin. The abnormal clinical findings in this syndrome result principally from the action of serotonin on the ...
