[Primary hepatic carcinoid tumor: A case report].
Primary hepatic carcinoid tumors are extremely rare, and fewer than 60 cases have been reported in the literature. Long-term follow-up is necessary for establishing the primary nature of liver carcinoids. We report a case arising in a young 20 years-man having Zollinger-Ellison syndrome on presentation. Intensive and careful investigation revealed no other origin of the tumor. Resection is the treatment of choice for primary hopatic carcinoid tumors. Their prognosis seems to be more favorable when compared with other hepatic carcinomas.
