Abstract
It is asymptomatic in up to 60% of the patients and autopsy studies showed that up to two thirds of jejunoileal carcinoids remain. Undetected in life. When symptoms occur, they are often non-specific and vary according to the location of the lesion.
The prognosis varies depending on multiple factors including location, histological subtype, residual disease post resection and metastasis.
In addition, some authors have reported the levels of 5-HIAA, plasma chromagranin A, weight loss and tumour size to be important factors.
