Abstract:
We present a rare and complex case of a 76-year-old male patient with a history of low-grade neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of the small intestine, status post resection, who presented with recurrence of the tumor in the liver and subsequent carcinoid heart syndrome (CHS). The recurrent liver tumor caused severe tricuspid regurgitation and CHS, highlighting the rare association between NETs and CHS, particularly in the elderly population. This case underscores the importance of multidisciplinary care and close monitoring for patients with recurrent NETs and potential cardiac complications.
