title: An unusual case of metastatic carcinoid tumour in the interventricular septum.
abstract: : Carcinoid heart disease is characterized by pulmonic and/or tricuspid valvular dysfunction and is the most common cardiac manifestation of carcinoid syndrome. We present an unusual cardiac manifestation of a rare entity carcinoid metastasis to the heart, without carcinoid heart disease. This rare case of carcinoid metastasis in the interventricular septum illustrates the utility of cardiac MRI in delineating the extent and tissue characteristics of the tumour, and its complementary role to nuclear scan.
