Primary Mesenteric Carcinoid Tumor Presenting with Carcinoid Syndrome
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a diverse group of tumors arising throughout the body with a common origin from neuroendocrine cells. Well-differentiated NENs, also known as neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), are generally indolent and are often found ...

Rare Presentation of a Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasm Presenting with Atrial Flutter
Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNENs) rarely secrete serotonin, which is the main cause of carcinoid syndrome. One of its unusual manifestations is carcinoid heart disease or Hedinger’s syndrome which is seldom accompanied by cardiac arrhythmias.

Carcinoid Syndrome-Induced Ventricular Tachycardia
Introduction. Carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine malignancies that secrete multiple bioactive substances. These bioactive substances are responsible for the carcinoid syndrome characterized by diarrhea, flushing, syncope, and right-sided valvular ...

Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in patients with carcinoid tumors [PDF]
In 80% to 90% of patients with carcinoids, tumor sites can be detected with [111In-DTPA-D-Phe1]-octreotide scintigraphy. Unexpected, additional localizations are reported in one-third to two-thirds of patients.
