Carcinoid tumours in the abdomen are uncommon, but typically occur in the gastrointestinal tract. Primary renal carcinoid is an extremely rare tumour, poorly described in the literature. We describe an unusual case where an atypical renal mass on imaging led to a preoperative diagnosis of renal carcinoid on imaging guiding biopsy.

Introduction: Choroidal metastases from systemic malignancies are the most common intraocular malignancies in adults. External beam radiation (EBR) has historically been first-line therapy for metastatic tumors to the choroid. However, good responses have been described with newer targeted biologics.

Primary renal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are extremely rare among renal malignancies. According to pathological manifestations, carcinoid can be divided into four types: typical carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, large cell and small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Primary or secondary retroperitoneal carcinoid is even rarer than renal carcinoid.

Article Synopsis
- Octreotide is a synthetic version of somatostatin that helps inhibit hormones like growth hormone and insulin, and is used in conditions such as acromegaly and carcinoid tumors.
- A 44-year-old man with type 2 diabetes and advanced kidney disease experienced severe hypoglycemia from sulfonylureas and was treated with octreotide, which unfortunately caused hyperkalemia as a side effect.
- This case underscores the risks of using octreotide in patients with renal impairment, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of potassium levels to prevent serious complications.
