The present case refers to a patient with a rare localization of carcinoid tumor of the ascending colon, with a 15-year history of diarrhea, complete absence of other carcinoid syndrome manifestations and prevailing features of right heart failure with cyanosis. The patient was successfully treated ...
valvular diseaseCarcinoid tumors have been described in almost every organ and may affect virtually every body system. Cardiac involvement manifesting as right-sided valvular disease is characteristic of the carcinoid syndrome; however, direct myocardial involvement is unusual. We present a case of an ...

This is due to the production of serotonin which is released into the systemic circulation and leads to symptoms of cutaneous flushing, diarrhea, bronchoconstriction, and right-sided cardiac valve disease. Orbital metastases have rarely been described and the majority of them involve the choroid ...
Carcinoid heart disease is a rare form of valvular heart disease. The management of these patients is complex, as the systemic malignant disease and the cardiac involvement have to be considered at the same time. Progress in the treatment of patients with carcinoid disease has resulted in improved...

Significantly at autopsy the typical valvular disease of the right side of the heart was not apparent. That the syndrome may be incomplete has been borne out by the number of reported cases in which cardiac involvement was not present. Finally the term, carcinoid, is now semantically incorrect....
the etiology of carcinoid heart disease remains obscure. the extent of the cardiac disease seems related to circulating tumor-released substances such as serotonin and tachykinins. 展开 关键词: Carcinoid tumor carcinoid heart disease echocardiography heart valve surgery ...
Because the venous drainage of the ovary bypasses the portal circulation, carcinoid heart disease in patients with primary ovarian carcinoid tumors may develop in the absence of liver metastasis. We describe 4 patients who presented with symptomatic carcinoid heart disease in association with primary ova...
