title: Carcinoid tumor of the ileum with perforation and infiltration of the abdominal wall.
abstract: The carcinoid tumor presented was noteworthy in several respects. It attained a large size within the space of only two months and was so extensive that it penetrated the abdominal wall. Despite its great size there were no liver metastases, and at no time did the patient exhibit any of the signs or symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome.
