purpose: we report an unusual case of trabecular carcinoid of the ovary with orbital involvement. methods: we encountered a 49-year-old woman with a complaint of bilateral proptosis. ocular examination revealed severe bilateral proptosis and signs of corneal exposure. orbital ct scan showed massive enlargement of extraocular muscles and optic nerve compression. the patient medical history showe...

We describe the first case of a patient presenting with multicentric carcinoid occurring in the lung and subsequently in the rectum, with chronic psoriatic arthritis. Although reports have been published regarding carcinoid syndrome occurring alongside rheumatoid arthritis, no reports have been made on such a case. Initial presentation of carcinoid syndrome in this patient was insidious and aty...

Monodermal teratomas of the ovary can take the form of carcinoid tumors of which there are several types, mucinous carcinoid being the least common. Very few cases of primary mucinous carcinoid of the ovary have been reported in the literature and the behavior of these tumors over the long term is unclear. We describe a case of primary mucinous carcinoid of the ovary in a 39-year-old woman trea...

The objective of this study was to describe the imaging findings of carcinoid tumors metastatic to the breast, with pathologic and clinical correlations. We searched our surgical database for cases of pathologically proven carcinoid tumors metastatic to the breast from October 1, 2000, to May 31, 2010. Of the approximate 10,000 breast biopsies identified, 7000 had malignant findings. Ten cases ...

Sum mary: The term “flush” is a misnomer for diverse physiological and pathological medical conditions; however, simple flush can signify the presence of a serious underly ing medical condition. Many patients with non-carcinoid facial flush have been refer red to our department as cases of carcinoid flush. Most of these patients had already undergone many bio chemical and radiological workups, ...

Carcinoid is a rare gastrointestinal tumor. We have noticed a high incidence of carcinoid in our patient population during the gastric reduction-duodenal switch operation. Further studies are needed to identify any potential correlation between morbid obesity and carcinoid tumors.

Esophageal carcinoid tumors remain some of the rarest of all carcinoid tumors, with only several cases previously reported in the literature. The endoscopic mucosal resection of selected carcinoid tumors has been shown to be a valid, safe, and effective method of treatment. Endoscopic ultrasonography is the technique of choice to select patients eligible for endoscopic resection. Here, we repor...

Carcinoid tumor is the most common neuroendocrine tumor affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The coexistence of multifocal carcinoid lesions is a well-established phenomenon. Although intubation of the terminal ileum is not routinely attempted during colonoscopy, it can occasionally reveal the presence of some incidental findings. We present a patient with known rectal carcinoid, who was found...

The carcinoid syndrome generally occurs due to metastasis of a carcinoid tumour in the liver. A patient is presented who had carcinoid syndrome due to abdominal disease without hepatic metastasis.

Within 24 h of bland embolization of carcinoid liver metastasis, patient developed flushing and severe hypotension consistent with carcinoid crisis. Octreotide pre- and post-procedure remains the mainstay for prevention and treatment of carcinoid crisis.
