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.

CARCINOID TUMORS AND THE CARCINOID SYNDROME
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1969AbstractData 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 excretion of 5 hydroxy indole acetic acid reached 107 mg.On the basis of these ...

Publisher Summary Carcinoid tumor can arise anywhere in the body. About 70% originate within three organs: the appendix, the small intestine, and the rectum. Most appendiceal carcinoids are small, do not cause symptoms, and are diagnosed incidentally during appendectomy.

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).

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 ...

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.
