    Summary

    Carcinoid syndrome, often from ileal carcinoid tumors metastasized to the liver, presents distinct radiological features. Percutaneous embolization of liver metastases is a successful treatment for this syndrome.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Carcinoid syndrome is a clinical condition typically caused by ileal carcinoid tumors with liver metastases.
    • Carcinoid tumors can originate in various organs and exhibit diverse radiological appearances.
    • The liver is a common site for carcinoid metastases, leading to carcinoid syndrome.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the radiological characteristics of carcinoid tumors.
    • To highlight the role of hepatic carcinoid metastases in carcinoid syndrome.
    • To discuss the application of percutaneous embolization in managing carcinoid syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of radiological findings in carcinoid tumors.
    • Analysis of the relationship between tumor location, metastasis, and syndrome development.
    • Evaluation of percutaneous embolization as a therapeutic option for hepatic metastases.

    Main Results:

    • Carcinoid tumors demonstrate varied and often characteristic radiological appearances.
    • Ileal carcinoid tumors metastasizing to the liver are a primary cause of carcinoid syndrome.
    • Percutaneous embolization of hepatic carcinoid metastases has shown success in treating the syndrome.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiological assessment is crucial for diagnosing and characterizing carcinoid neoplasms.
    • Hepatic metastases from carcinoid tumors are significant contributors to carcinoid syndrome.
    • Percutaneous embolization offers an effective interventional approach for managing hepatic carcinoid metastases and associated syndrome.
