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
