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 ...

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.

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, 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.

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.

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 ...

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.
