H J Brody, W P Stallings, R M Fine

    Archives of Dermatology
    |April 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    The first reported case of carcinoid tumor presenting as an umbilical mass is described. This rare finding, alongside other conditions, suggests a potential link to multiple endocrine adenomatosis type I.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Endocrinology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Umbilical nodules can indicate metastatic disease from internal malignancies.
    • Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine neoplasms that can arise in various locations.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a carcinoid tumor manifesting as an umbilical mass.
    • The patient also exhibited idiopathic hyperparathyroidism and diabetes mellitus.

    Findings:

    • This is the first documented case of a carcinoid tumor presenting as an umbilical mass.
    • The combination of conditions suggests a potential diagnosis of multiple endocrine adenomatosis type I.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known clinical presentations of carcinoid tumors.
    • It highlights the importance of considering rare umbilical metastases in differential diagnoses.
    • The findings may offer insights into developmental defects affecting amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation cells.
