Primary Carcinoid Tumor

Carcinoid tumors usually arise in the gastrointestinal tract. Immunocytohistochemical and radiologic studies are important in detecting the primary tumor site. Primary carcinoid tumors of the testis are particularly rare with a high malignant potential warranting long-term follow-up. We present the case of a primary carcinoid tumor of the testis with long-term surveillance.

Background. Carcinoid tumors are distinct neuroendocrine neoplasms commonly located within the gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary system. The aim of this case report was to present a patient with carcinoid tumor of the ovary as a less common form of this neoplasm. Case report. A 49 year old woman was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of diarrhea and abdominal pain and suspicion of neuroendocrine neoplasm, 4 month after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and total hysterectomy for ovarian tumor. Pathological diagnosis was typical for carcinoid tumor. At admission the patient had slightly eleveated levels of tumor marker CA 125 and highly elevated levels of 5- HIAA. Abdominal CT showed suspicious rest tumor in the pelvis. Relaparotomy was done and retroperitoneal fibrosis was found. Six months after the intervention the levels of 5-HIAA and CA 125 were normal, and NMR of the abdomen showed no signs of rest tumor. Conclusion. Carcinoid tumor of the ovary is rare form of ovarian tumors and less than 0.1% had malignant potential. Surgical therapy associated with a long-term follow up was the treatment of choice. Consideration of unusual sites of carcinoid tumors facilitates appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Long Term Follow Up

Extrahepatic bile duct tumors, 80 per cent of which are adenocarcinomas, are rare neoplasms accounting for less than two per cent of all cancers. Carcinoid tumor of the extrahepatic bile ducts is a reportable lesion, with only approximately 50 cases described in the literature since 1959. We present a case of a primary extrahepatic bile duct carcinoid tumor resected for cure with the longest reported follow-up time (11 years) after surgery. We also summarize the existing literature with regard to this rare tumor. Our case lends strong support to the notion that extrahepatic biliary carcinoids are generally indolent lesions that, if aggressively resected, can result in excellent long-term survival. Complete excision with clear margins seems to provide the best chance of obtaining long-term survival and cure.
