Rare Small Bowel Carcinoid Tumor: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Carcinoid tumors are rare malignancies that develop from epithelial cells in the diffuse endocrine system, with a notable proportion originating in the gastrointestinal tract. Delayed diagnosis due to their nonspecific symptoms often results in advanced disease upon presentation. Surgery is the main treatment, involving tumor removal while preserving bowel function. We present a case of a patient with pain and palpable abdominal mass, who was diagnosed with carcinoid tumor and referred for surgical treatment. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and emphasizes the significance of early detection in patients with this disease.
