[Carcinoid tumor with cystic liver metastases].
Generally metastases of carcinoid tumours are pseudocystic in nearly 10% of the patients. In our case the guiding diagnostic importance of sonography and computed tomography could be proved. Results have to be completed by histologic findings and hormonal analysis (serotonin, 5-hydroxyindol acetic acid). - Morphological signs especially of the new imaging techniques are often a supposition for the modern therapy, e.g. the application of serotonin antagonists, local perfusion of cytostatic substances and if possible transplantation of the liver.
