Ileal carcinoid with hepatic and peritoneal metastasis presenting as Carcinoid syndrome
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Gastrointestinal carcinoid tumours are uncommon neuroendocrine tumours. They can either present as a non-functioning tumour mass, or as a “functioning” tumour secondary to the production of several biopeptides resulting in carcinoid syndrome. The incidence of carcinoid syndrome is less, and usually occurs in carcinoids of small bowel origin with hepatic metastasis. The patient being reported is a case of ileal carcinoid with hepatic and peritoneal metastasis presenting as carcinoid syndrome.
