Goblet cell carcinoid tumors (GCCT) are uncommon neoplasms that predominantly occur in the vermiform appendix. They tend to occur in middle-aged adults with a near equal sex distribution. Most Goblet cell carcinoid tumors are discovered in appendices removed for acute appendicitis and for other reasons. Goblet cell carcinoid tumors demonstrate features of both classic carcinoid tumor and adenoc...

BACKGROUND Midgut carcinoids are neuroendocrine tumors that commonly metastasize to the intestinal mesentery, where they predispose to intestinal obstruction, ischemia and/or congestion. Because of their location, many mesenteric carcinoid tumors are deemed unresectable due to the risk of uncontrollable bleeding and prolonged intestinal ischemia. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 60-y...

Bronchial carcinoid tumors account for 1-2% of all primary lung tumors and are separated into 2 subgroups: typical and atypical carcinoids. Atypical carcinoids as intermediate-grade malignancies can metastasize more frequently, thus exhibiting poorer prognosis than the low-grade typical carcinoid tumors. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment for pulmonary carcinoids. Bronchoscopi...

Primary carcinoid tumors of the ovary account for 5% of ovarian teratomas. They are frequently components of mature cystic teratomas or, less commonly, mucinous cystadenomas. Most tumors are seen in peri- or postmenopausal women with symptoms of enlarging mass, or are incidental findings. Microscopically, there are four major variants of ovarian teratomas of carcinoid type: insular, trabecular,...

up almost 20% of all ovarian neoplasms. Although they are almost always benign tumors, the rare development of cancer deserves emphasis. The most common malignant change in a dermoid cyst is squamous cell carcinoma, followed by adenocarcinoma and carcinoid tumor (1-3). Primary of ovarian carcinoid tumors are uncommon and the majority of them are associated with mature cystic teratomas (4). Robb...

primary ovarian carcinoid tumors of the ovary are rare and represent less than 0.1% of ovarian malignancy. one of its subtypes is the strumal carcinoid in which the thyroid tissue is seen in intimate association with carcinoid tumor. we here report a 47-year-old woman with strumal carcinoid of the right ovary presented with cessation of menstrual periods in the past 3 months and was referred du...

A 66 year old female was found to have an ampullary mass on endoscopic examination. A pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed and the pathology was consistent with carcinoid tumor. Carcinoid tumors of the ampulla of Vater are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, accounting for 0.3-1% of gastrointestinal carcinoids. Management of ampullary carcinoid tumor with pancreaticoduodenectomy is in a...

Carcinoid tumors are rare but diverse group of malignancies that arise from neuroendocrine cells. Skeletal muscle metastasis is exceedingly rare and is associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of carcinoid tumor of the ileocecal with skeletal muscle metastasis. We also review available case reports of carcinoid tumors metastasizing to the muscle.
