Primary carcinoid tumor of the skin.
We describe the case of a 64-year-old man with a cutaneous carcinoid tumor. Clinical investigation and diagnostic studies failed to reveal an internal primary tumor. Five cases of primary cutaneous carcinoid tumor have been reported in the literature. Interestingly, our patient had coexisting lichen planus, which has been reported previously in association with carcinoid.
