Synchronous carcinoid tumors of the colon--a case report.
Carcinoids are comprising 0.05 to 0.2% of all malignancies and 0.4 to 1% of gastrointestinal neoplasms. Only about 1 to 3% are located in the colon. Because synchronous colonic carcinoids are extremely rare, a case of a 64-year-old woman is presented. Etiologic, clinical and therapeutic aspects are discussed.
