Abstract
The manifestations of carcinoid syndrome result from a variety of hormones secreted by the carcinoid tumour. The minority of patients with carcinoid tumour suffer bronchospasm and flushing. In this report the possibility of carcinoid syndrome in a patient who developed severe bronchospasm during operative manipulation of his rectal carcinoid is discussed.Keywords
