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.

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.

CARCINOID TUMORS OF THE STOMACH

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1984
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

Carcinoid tumors of the rectum
The American Journal of Surgery, 1964Abstract The clinical and pathologic characteristics of 147 cases of carcinoid tumor of the rectum are presented. It was found that rectal carcinoids are seen most frequently in patients older than forty years. The lesions were usually asymptomatic and were found incidentally by a clinical examiner or proctologist.

GENITOURINARY CARCINOID TUMORS: INITIAL REPORT OF URETERAL CARCINOID TUMOR
Journal of Urology, 2000Carcinoid tumor is a rare malignant lesion that is poorly understood. The term karzinoid was initially used by Oberndorfer in 1907 to describe a tumor that resembled adenocarcinoma but behaved in a more benign fashion. We know now that such benign behavior may not be the case.

Resection of typical bronchial carcinoid was carried out in 203 patients. The average age was 48 years, and the sex distribution was approximately equal. Bronchoscopy was the most definitive diagnostic procedure, even though 15% of the tumors were located in the segmental bronchus or beyond.

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 rectum
The American Journal of Surgery, 1978Carcinoid tumors of the rectum are not uncommon. However, multiple rectal carcinoids are very rare but can occur. The behavior of the rectal carcinoids is different than that of carcinoid tumors in other areas of the gastrointestinal tract. All carcinoids are malignant, and management is based on size and depth of invasion.
