Primary carcinoid tumor in an ileal conduit.
Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine tumors that typically arise in the gastrointestinal tract. We present the case of a 74-year-old woman with a primary carcinoid tumor in an ileal conduit urinary diversion who presented with gross hematuria. We also provide a brief review of relevant reports. The patient subsequently underwent resection and replacement of her ileal conduit.
