Carcinoid tumors are new growths from neuroendocrine cells. The following clinical variants of carcinoid were observed in 11 patients with histologically verified carcinoid: 1) asymptomatic variant (an occasional finding at endoscopy)--2 cases; 2) carcinoid with symptoms of a mass detected at surgery--2 cases of intestinal ileus, 2 cases of appendix ...

Carcinoid tumors can present a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Despite their reputation as indolent tumors, they frequently metastasize and can cause significant symptomatology. The only curative therapy remains surgical resection. The prognosis and treatment of carcinoids vary based on location and histology, and therapy must be tailored

Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2002
Carcinoids are rare endocrine tumors that can develop in several organs in the body. Clinically, patients can have a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms that range from incidental findings of a polyp during endoscopy to the carcinoid syndrome characterized by severe flushing, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and life-threatening right-sided heart failure.

Archives of Surgery, 1984
A retrospective study of 86 patients with carcinoid tumors was undertaken covering an 18-year period. The most common sites of tumor were the jejunoileum (28 cases), appendix (22), and rectum (16). These were followed by the bronchus, duodenum, colon, and stomach. Three tumors had such wide-spread metastasis that their primary sites of origin could not

AbstractThe authors carried out a retrospective study of 32 patients (23 M, 9 F) with carcinoid tumors who were diagnosed and treated at Harlem Hospital Center, New York, from 1967 to 1988. All the patients were black and the commonest sites were the ileum (28.1%), rectosigmoid and rectum (21.9%), and the appendix and lung (15.6% each).

Forty-six patients with bronchial carcinoid tumors were operated on over a 37-year period. The results were reviewed with special reference to presenting complaint, histological diagnosis, location of the tumor, lymphatic involvement, and type of surgical resection. Age at operation ranged from 9 to 86 years (mean, 43.6 years). Presenting symptoms were

Retrorectal masses comprise a varied group of rarely encountered tumors. We present the case of a 42-year-old white woman with a retrorectal carcinoid tumor treated by abdominosacral resection. Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are discussed.

In this report on 3 cases of thymic carcinoid, tumors recurred in 2 patients not undergoing lymph node dissection. We review 47 cases of this disease taken from the Japanese literature, and discuss surgical procedures for reducing recurrence. In 9 of 20 cases of recurrence in encapsulated thymic carcinoid, lymph nodes were not dissected in eight ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2009
Carcinoid tumors, which arise from the enterochromaffin cells of the gastrointestinal tract, encompass a diverse group of neoplasms. Once thought to be "carcinoma-like," these neoplasms exhibit a biologic behavior that varies from an indolent, benign course to an aggressive, rapidly progressive, and deadly disease.
