| Summary: | Primary ovarian carcinoid tumors are rare well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors classified
as monodermal teratomas. They usually occur in perimenopausal woman and are
accompanied with mature cystic teratoma or mucinous tumors. The diagnosis may be supported
by the clinical presentation of carcinoid syndromes such as flushing, diarrhea, or
chronic constipation. Here, we report on the case of a 51-year-old female with surgically
confirmed primary ovarian carcinoid, describe the MRI features of the tumor, and correlate
them with the pathological findings. |
