Carcinoid tumors arise from argentaffine cells or from a primitive stem cells which may differentiate into anyone of a variety of adult endocrine-secreting cells. Carcinoid tumor of the pancreas is a very rare tumor with less than 50 cases reported in world literature. In literature it is denoted "pancreatic serotoninoma" or "serotonin-producing pancreatic tumor". Due to its rarity the tumor is an unusual cause of carcinoid syndrome. As the carcinoid tumor of the pancreas does not always causes carcinoid syndrome its absence does not necessarily exclude the existence of the tumor. The tumor is frequently malignant. Over 50% of patients have metastases at the time of surgery. This is the reason why radical surgery is not possible in a number of patients. Excisional surgery offers the best chance for recovery or long term survival. We report on a 57-year-old woman with carcinoid syndrome caused by malignant carcinoid tumor of the head of the pancreas without liver or other distant metastases; it was successfully excised with pylorus preserving cephalic duo-denopancreatectomy (after Longmire-Traverso) and radical lymphadenectomy. The diagnosis was established on the basis of histologic and immunohistochemical findings. The patient is symptom free for more than eight months.

Free Cortisol

A 57-year-old man presented with clinical features of hypercortisolism and was diagnosed with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Biochemical testing showed partial suppression of urinary free cortisol with high dose dexamethasone. Initial computed tomography (CT) of the chest and abdomen, and magnetic resonance imaging of the pituitary were negative. In-111 pentetreotide scintigraphy with single photon emission computerized tomography revealed two 'hot' lesions in the abdomen which were then confirmed by subsequent directed thin-slice abdominal CT and small bowel barium study. At surgery, two segments of ileum, adjoining mesentery and lymph nodes were resected. Histopathology was consistent with a malignant carcinoid tumor of the ileum which stained intensely for ACTH. Plasma ACTH, and serum and urinary cortisol normalized postoperatively. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ileal carcinoid tumor causing Cushing's syndrome with premortem diagnosis. Another unique feature of this case is that In-111 pentetreotide scan provided the decisive clue to localization of the tumor.

Anterior Sacral Meningocele

Abstract We report a case of a presacral teratoma containing a malignant carcinoid component associated with an anterior sacral meningocele that presented in a 35-year-old woman. The clinical, radiographic, and pathological features of these rare tumors, of presacral meningoceles, and of the hereditary presacral teratoma syndrome are discussed.
