title: [Carcinoid tumor of the ileum and self-limited colitis].
abstract: Carcinoid tumors of the ileum represent the most frequent localization of this type of tumor in the gastrointestinal tract. The association of this tumor with the presence of inflammatory bowel disease is well characterized. Self-limiting colitis is an entity that poses serious difficulties when performing a differential diagnosed by other causes of colitis. We present the case of a patient who was diagnosed with carcinoid tumor of the ileum. Clinical and histological findings of self-limiting colitis were also observed.
