[Serious vascular complications in malignant carcinoid tumor].
The malignant carcinoid tumor generally shows a rapid clinical evolution, which can be accelerated even further by the complication at great vessels level, be it by compression or tumoral invasion of them. We had the opportunity to study 2 patients whose deaths were related to these complications: invasion of the inferior caval vein in its thoracic portion with development of Budd-Chiari syndrome of mediastinal carcinoid tumor and tumoral thrombosis of the spleen portal venous trunk in a bronchial carcinoid.
