Intestinal carcinoid tumor and myotonic dystrophy. A new association?
The occurrence of multiple carcinoid tumors of the small bowel with liver metastases is reported in a patient with a previous myotonic dystrophy. In addition to the association of myotonic dystrophy with multiple endocrine adenomatosis type 2A, hyperparathyroidism, and neurofibromatosis, this case report gives further evidence for the propensity of such patients to develop neuroendocrine tumors.
