title: [Primary ovarian carcinoid clinically manifested by intractable constipation: a case report].
abstract: Ovarian carcinoid tumor is a very rare, low-grade malignant tumor, and most of the patients have no typical clinical symptoms. Some patients seek medical attention for pelvic masses often found incidentally, and about one-third of the patients may present with carcinoid syndrome. We report a case of ovarian carcinoid tumor clinically manifested by intractable constipation, which is a rare condition in these patients.
