Abstract

CT findings in intestinal carcinoids are various. While recognition of the primary tumour is a rare event, the contribution of CT in evaluating patients with suspected intestinal carcinoid is relevant, both for loco-regional staging and during long-term follow-up. Moreover, in the relatively frequent cases with an aspecific clinical onset, CT may be findings useful to direct diagnosis.
