abstract: Primary ovarian carcinoid disease with cardiac involvement is a very rare syndrome, which requires interdisciplinary management. We report on a patient with primary ovarian carcinoid tumor with severe tricuspid valve insufficiency who was curatively treated after successful tumor resection and tricuspid valve replacement.
