A 66-year-old woman, suffering from occasional lower abdominal pain and abdominal distention, was admitted to Isuzu Hospital. Since the tumor was suspected in the ileocecal region by barium enema, operation was preformed.
And post-operatively it was revealed to be carcinoid tumor, which histopathologically showed classic type and trabecular pattern. The values of 5-HT and 5-HIAA were within normal range.
