UNLABELLED Ovarian carcinoids are very rare, and only their insular form is associated with carcinoid syndrome. We herein describe a case report of an elderly woman who presented with typical carcinoid syndrome, which is routinely characterized by right-sided heart failure, diarrhoea, flushes, and other common manifestations. Further examination and biochemical testing of the patient confirmed ...
Biopsy of rectal carcinoid tumor is commonly taken before endoscopic resection. However the preceding biopsy can inhibit complete resection by causing blurred tumor border and fibrosis of the tissue. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of preceding biopsy on complete endoscopic resection in rectal carcinoid tumor. It was also determined if rectal carcinoid tumors can be mac...
BACKGROUND/AIMS We investigated the effect of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonist pioglitazone on growth and TRAIL-induced apoptosis in carcinoid cells. METHODS Carcinoid cells were incubated without and with pioglitazone. Effects on growth were examined by cell count and cell cycle analysis. p21waf1/cip1 expression was determined by Western blotting. Cyt...
Here, we report the case of patient with multiple gastric carcinoids showing histopathological behavior similar to that of type I carcinoid tumors of the stomach. The patient was a 61-year-old man diagnosed as having a gastric tumor, which was revealed by follow-up computed tomography. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a protruded tumor in the greater curvature and a small polyp in the ...
Salivary gland tumors account for 3 to 6% of all head and neck neoplasms in adults. Some 70 to 85% of these lesions are found in the parotid. Carcinoid tumors, which represent a distinct and relatively uncommon subset of neuroendocrine tumors, are most commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract, although in rare cases they are known to occur in extragastrointestinal locations, including the l...
CONTEXT The cytologic features of carcinoid tumor in mediastinal fine-needle aspiration are well described. Nevertheless, this tumor may be difficult to distinguish from thymoma in this site. OBJECTIVE We sought to correlate the cytologic features of carcinoid tumor of the mediastinum in the College of American Pathologists Interlaboratory Comparison Program in Nongynecologic Cytopathology wi...
A case is described of a 54 year old woman who had acute pericarditis with large exudative eVusion accompanied by severe right and left ventricular failure. The patient was finally diagnosed with carcinoid heart disease from an ovarian carcinoid teratoma. She was treated with octreotide—a somatostatin analogue— followed by radical surgical resection of the neoplasm. At one year follow up only m...
The synchronous occurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis and bronchial carcinoid tumor is unusual. Although pulmonary tuberculosis can coexist with all histological types of lung cancer, few coexisting cases of bronchial carcinoid tumor and pulmonary tuberculosis have been reported. We present coexistent bronchial carcinoid tumor and pulmonary tuberculosis in the same lobe. A 39-year-old woman was ...
Intestinal ischaemia associated with carcinoid tumor: a case report with review of the pathogenesis.
Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing neuroendocrine neoplasms that are often indolent and may not become clinically apparent until there is a metastatic spread or evidence of carcinoid syndrome. A 44-year-old man presented to our clinic department with a history of previous left colon cancer operation, chronic crampy left lower quadrant pain, mass and severe anemia. A MR scan was obtained wh...
We report on the evaluation and management of a 47-year-old white male found to have primary carcinoid tumor of the ileal segment of his diverting ileovesicostomy thirty-five months after initial creation. Subsequent to presentation with intermittent gross hematuria, CT urogram highlights an 8 mm enhancing lesion near the enterovesical junction of urinary diversion. Office cystoscopy confirms p...
