    Cancer
    |September 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This case study discusses a rare skin carcinoid tumor where no primary source was found internally. It explores the possibility of a primary cutaneous carcinoid, a tumor originating in the skin itself.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Carcinoid tumors typically originate in internal organs.
    • Cutaneous carcinoid tumors are rare and their origin is often debated.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a carcinoid tumor located in the skin.
    • Extensive investigations failed to identify a primary tumor in any internal organs.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the challenge of locating the primary tumor in some carcinoid cases.
    • The possibility of a primary cutaneous carcinoid tumor is considered.

    Implications:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of rare cutaneous neoplasms.
    • It suggests that primary carcinoid tumors can arise in the skin independently of internal primaries.
