Serotonin and Carcinoid Tumors
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1985The enterochromaffin (EC) cell system is distributed throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract. Enterochromaffin cells are the major source of intestinal serotonin (5-HT), but separate subpopulations of EC cells may synthesize and store peptides as substance P (SP), motilin, and enkephalin as well.

Carcinoid Tumors of the Appendix
Archives of Surgery, 1964Acute appendicitis occurs with such frequency that other lesions of this organ are often forgotten or overlooked by the surgeon. In an attempt to add to the knowledge concerning the instance, behavior, and proper treatment of carcinoids of the vermiform appendix, a review of the cases of this condition occurring in three local hospitals was undertaken ...

Thirty patients with carcinoid tumors of the ileum over a recent 10-year period have been analyzed. Seventeen patients were symptomatic and 13 others were found to have tumors incidentally at autopsy or celiotomy. Patients with symptoms almost invariably had metastatic disease, yet preoperative diagnosis was rarely achieved.

Carcinoid tumors of the thymus
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1990Carcinoid tumors arising in the thymus are rare. Since Rosai and Higa in 1972 distinguished these neoplasms from thymomas, fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the world literature. In a 38-year review (1950 to 1988) of surgically treated thymic tumors at Henry Ford Hospital, only 7 cases of thymic carcinoids were identified.

A patient had a primary carcinoid tumor of the larynx. This is the second case reported in the American or British literature and the only one confirmed by a positive argyrophilic reaction and by the demonstration of neurosecretory-type granules by electron microscopy. The patient's clinical course was similar to that seen in most cases of tracheal and

Management of Carcinoid Tumors
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2010Primary bronchopulmonary carcinoids comprise a significant proportion of carcinoid tumors. The clinical presentation allows prediction of the diagnosis and cell type and directs evaluation and treatment. Young age, central tumor, and no nodal enlargement are highly suggestive of typical carcinoid. These patients require no further diagnostic or staging

Carcinoid tumors of the duodenum
Surgery, 2005Carcinoid tumors of the duodenum are rare, and their natural history has not been defined. Consequently, there is no consensus on the optimal extent of surgical treatment.The authors reviewed the records of all patients with primary carcinoid tumors of the duodenum treated at their institution from 1969 through 2004. Patients with primary periampullary

Primary carcinoid tumor of the thymus is a rare, slow-growing neoplasm occurring most commonly in middle-aged men. The usual clinical manifestations are those of a mediastinal mass, although in asymptomatic patients, the diagnosis may be suggested by a routine chest roentgenogram. Excision is the most common treatment.

Carcinoid tumors in the breast
The American Journal of Surgery, 2006Carcinoid tumors in the breast are rare. Most represent metastases from other primary sites, but commonly are mistaken for primary breast lesions.A literature search of the English language found 59 cases of carcinoid tumors in the breast, 21 (36%) of which were metastases.We present an additional 3 cases of carcinoid tumors metastatic to the breast ...
