Primary renal carcinoid tumor.
A case of primary renal carcinoid tumor in a sixty-seven-year-old man is presented. Radical nephrectomy removed the primary disease, but hepatic metastases developed and the patient subsequently died. Review of the literature disclosed 8 other cases of primary renal carcinoid. Three of these had metastatic spread.
