Abstract:
Fine-needle biopsy of hepatic lesions in a patient with carcinoid liver metastasis can precipitate carcinoid crisis. We report a case of carcinoid crisis following a liver biopsy. Recognition of this unusual presentation of this condition is important to enable all appropriate preparatory measures to be taken and resuscitative equipment to be available.
