Exploring Carcinoid Syndrome in Neuroendocrine Tumors: Insights from a Multidisciplinary Narrative Review.
Cancers (Basel)

Digestive Disease Unit, Sant' Andrea University Hospital, ENETS Center of Excellence, 00189 Rome, Italy.
Carcinoid syndrome (CS) is a rare condition associated with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), particularly those originating in the gastrointestinal tract, which secrete bioactive substances like serotonin. The management of CS requires a multidisciplinary approach due to its complex clinical manifestations, including flushing, diarrhea, bronchospasm, and carcinoid heart disease. Optimal care involves collaboration between several professional figures like oncologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons, and dietitians.

Article Synopsis
- - Diagnosis of tricuspid valve disease in patients with carcinoid heart syndrome is often done with echocardiography, especially in those already diagnosed with carcinoid syndrome.
- - VIPoma is a rare type of tumor occurring in 0.05%-2% of cases, causing symptoms like flushing, diarrhea, and electrolyte issues without typically affecting heart valves.
- - In a notable case, detection of tricuspid regurgitation and stenosis during echocardiography led to a quicker investigation for cancer, ultimately revealing the presence of VIPoma.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study describes a 69-year-old woman with symptoms like flushing, diarrhea, shortness of breath, and cough, leading to the identification of bilateral lung nodules confirmed as carcinoid tumors through biopsy.
- * The preferred treatment is complete surgical removal of the tumors, but plans are tailored to each patient based on tumor location and lung function, which can complicate surgery.

Atypical morphoea, a herald of two malignancies: Lung adenocarcinoma and a neuroendocrine tumour.

Department of Dermatology, St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- * A 73-year-old woman with atypical morphoea exhibited skin thickening and mobility issues, leading to the discovery of lung adenocarcinoma and a later diagnosis of a metastatic neuroendocrine tumor.
- * The case highlights that persistent or treatment-resistant morphoea may indicate underlying malignancies and suggests a connection between skin conditions and cancer.
