Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Carcinoid syndrome can cause cardiac complications.
  • Neuroendocrine tumors, particularly ileal and cecal carcinoids with liver metastases, are implicated.
  • Understanding the cardiac manifestations is crucial for patient management.

Purpose:

  • To describe the pathological features of carcinoid heart disease.
  • To correlate primary tumor location with cardiac involvement.
  • To elucidate the pathogenetic role of serotonin.

Summary:

  • Presents eight cases of carcinoid heart disease, detailing tumor origin (ileum/cecum) and liver metastases.
  • Characterizes the endocardial plaques on the right heart valves, leading to tricuspid incompetence or pulmonary stenosis.

    • Impact:

    • Provides detailed histopathological insights into carcinoid heart disease.
    • Highlights the characteristic valvular and mural endocardial lesions.
    • Emphasizes the role of serotonin in the disease's development.
