[Digestive carcinoid tumors].
Three examples of intestinal carcinoid tumours are reported. As the sign in conventional radiology are non-specific and inconstant, the computed radiographic signs are stressed. Small bowel examination showed both direct signs, intraluminal filling defects, and indirect signs with separated bowel loops, sometimes angulated and fixed. In one unusual case, all the jejunal loops were affected. On CT the specific finding was a retractile mesenteric infiltration.
