title: Large asymptomatic carcinoid tumor in an HIV-infected man.
abstract: Many different tumor types have been described in patients with AIDS; carcinoid tumors, however, are a distinct exception to this phenomenon. Our case illustrates the asymptomatic presentation of a large abdominal carcinoid in an HIV-infected man, and further expands the list of neoplasms that have been found in this population.
