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

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.

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.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1976
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.

Carcinoid Tumors of the Thymus
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2006Twenty-five cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the thymus associated with Cushing's syndrome have been reported since 1972. 1 We report two new cases of thymic carcinoid, one of which presented with Cushing's disease. These patients were successfully treated and were asymptomatic at the time of first follow-up.

Auris Nasus Larynx, 1991
Carcinoid tumor of the larynx is a rare neoplasm. Two cases of laryngeal carcinoid tumor are reported and the relevant literature is reviewed. One patient was an 82-year-old male who complained of odynophagia. The tumor was located on the left arytenoid and neck metastasis were present when he died 3 years after surgery.
