title: [Ileo-cecal malignant carcinoid tumor with orbital metastases as initial symptoms. Anatomo-clinical study].
abstract: A case of carcinoid tumor of the last ileal loop is presented; the first clinical sign was exophthalmos due to bilateral orbital metastases. The case is believed to be the third recorded one of carcinoid with metastases to the orbit; other metastatic lesions were located in myocardium, liver, spleen, kidney, ovary and trachea. Porgressive hirsutism was present in association with the somewhat atypical clinical picture.
