Abstract:
A case of a possible primary carcinoid tumor of the skin in a 40-year-old man is presented. The neoplasm was diagnosed as consistent with carcinoid tumor on the basis of conventional light microscopy, immunohistochemical studies, and electron microscopy. Workup revealed no evidence of carcinoid tumor elsewhere. Metastases to the skin from internal carcinoid tumors are uncommon, but presumed primary carcinoid tumors that arise in the skin are extremely rare; only three cases have been found in the English-language literature.
