Abstract

We report a case of right ovarian strumal carcinoid tumor responsible for tricuspid regurgitation. Valve replacement and salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. Serotonin level and tomodensitometry were normal at 3-year follow-up. Rarity of strumal carcinoid tumor explains why this tumor has never been reported with carcinoid heart disease before.
