Carcinoide duodenal: reporte de un caso

Abstract

The duodenal carcinoid is a rare, slow-growing neoplasia with low malignancy potential and arises from the neuroendocrine cells.

The case is presented of a 65 year-old male patient with epigastric pain, in which the endoscopy and biopsy revealed duodenal carcinoid. It was operated on with no complications. A literature review is also presented.
