title: [Tricuspid and pulmonary valve in a case of carcinoid syndrome].
abstract: The presence of liver methastasis and serotonin in plasma in the carcinoid tumor are responsible for the carcinoid syndrome. We present a case of tricuspid and pulmonary valvular disease secondary to this syndrome. The finding of liver hyperechogenic nodules added to the described valvular disease by subcostal echocardiogram oriented the diagnosis.
