[Ileal carcinoid observed in a very advanced phase in presence of metastasis to the left thigh soft tissues, both kidneys, liver, and left lung].
Reference is made to the APUD system and the APUDoma concept, and stress is laid on certain correlations noted between the histochemical features, endocrine activity, and topographical distribution of digestive tract carcinoids. Lastly, a description is given of a advanced stage, when metastases were already present on the soft parts of the left thigh, and in both kidneys, the liver, and the left lung. The occasion is taken to put forward some observations of a clinical, prognostic, and diagnostic order.
