[Clinical case of the month. Carcinoid syndrome due to a small intestine secreting tumor with a cardiopathy].
Uncommon but classically described, intestinal carcinoid tumors represent a variety of neuroendocrine tumors. Able to secrete amines and hormones, they can produce characteristic symptoms called "carcinoïd syndrome". A cardiopathy is sometimes associated with the disease and carries a high risk of mortality and morbidity.
