    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Management

    Background:

    • Carcinoid tumors secrete hormones, notably serotonin, causing symptoms like flushing, diarrhea, and bronchospasm.
    • Somatostatin analogues, including octreotide, are used to inhibit these tumor secretions and mitigate adverse effects.

    Observation:

    • This case report details the perioperative use of somatostatin for carcinoid tumor removal.
    • The patient's surgical course was uneventful, suggesting successful symptom management.

    Findings:

    • Perioperative somatostatin administration was effective in controlling hormone-induced symptoms during carcinoid tumor surgery.
    • The use of somatostatin contributed to a complication-free surgical outcome.

    Implications:

    • Somatostatin is a viable therapeutic option for perioperative management of carcinoid tumors.
    • This case supports the use of somatostatin in preventing and treating carcinoid syndrome during surgical interventions.
