Abstract:
Carcinoids of the gastrointestinal tract are well-differentiated endocrine neoplasms that belong to a diverse group of tumours that arise from diffuse endocrine system cells. They are produced by a wide range of specialized endocrine cells found in the gastrointestinal mucosa and submucosa. As a result, carcinoids can be found throughout the gastrointestinal tract, producing a variety of hormones and protein products leading to specific clinical symptoms. Gastrointestinal carcinoids are most commonly found in the small intestine. The most common site involved in the gastrointestinal tract is the ileum. Small intestinal carcinoids frequently exhibit aggressive biologic behaviour, and as a result, patients frequently present with metastases to regional lymph nodes and the liver. Carcinoids of the appendix and rectum, on the other hand, are frequently discovered incidentally as small lesions that are unrelated to clinical evidence of hormone production and have a more indolent clinical course. Carcinoids of the stomach, duodenum, and colon are rare, but they have distinct clinical, pathologic, and radiologic features. Understanding the clinical, pathologic, and radiologic spectrum of gastrointestinal carcinoids is critical in imaging and managing patients with suspected carcinoids or focal gastrointestinal masses [1].
