Abstract
Carcinoid syndrome occurs in about five percent of patients with carcinoid tumours. Most of these patients have diffuse liver metastases at the first presentation and the surgical options are few. Medical treatment or hepatic dearterialization achieves a temporary response in most cases. Occasionally, the liver lesions are confined to one anatomical lobe and resection may be feasible.
