背景资料。卵巢原发岛状类癌是一种罕见的肿瘤，占全身类癌病例的不到1%。除1例报告的病例外，所有先前描述的功能性卵巢类癌的直径都至少为10 em。因此，Turner的大小和类癌综合征的出现之间似乎有很好的相关性。我们描述了一例卵巢原发岛状类癌的功能性病例，其最大直径仅为6 em。虽然原发性卵巢类癌非常罕见，但必须保持较高的临床怀疑指数，尤其是在表现为类癌综合征和附件小肿块的患者。(C)2005 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Background. Primary insular carcinoid tumor of the ovary is a rare tumor and accounts for fewer than 1% of all cases of carcinoid in the body. With the exception of a single reported case, all previously described functioning ovarian carcinoid tumors have measured at least 10 em in diameter. Thus, there appears to be a good correlation between the size of the turner and the presence of the carcinoid syndrome.Case report. We describe a case of a functioning primary insular carcinoid turner of the ovary measuring just 6 em in maximal diameter.Conclusion. Although primary ovarian carcinoid tumor is very rare, a high clinical index of suspicion must be maintained, especially in a patient presenting with carcinoid syndrome and a small adnexal mass.
