Duodenal carcinoid tumors are rare but typically slow-growing. A conservative, non-surgical approach may be suitable for elderly patients with contraindications to surgery, as demonstrated in two cases.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Duodenal carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms.
  • Diagnosis is often incidental during endoscopic procedures.

Observation:

  • Two elderly patients with isolated duodenal carcinoid tumors were diagnosed via endoscopy.
  • Neither patient underwent surgical intervention.
  • Follow-up exceeded two years with no signs of metastasis.

Findings:

  • Duodenal carcinoid tumors exhibit slow growth and a generally benign clinical course.
  • The observed cases showed no evidence of metastatic disease after a prolonged follow-up period without surgery.

Implications:

  • A conservative management strategy, avoiding surgery, is recommended for select elderly patients with duodenal carcinoid tumors.
