Abstract
A review of the literature revealed 19 cases of nonfunctioning gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors reported in the pediatric age group, with the primary site in the appendix in 15 of these. A case of functioning carcinoid in a 15-year-old white male is reported. Classic signs and symptoms of increased circulating serotonin were observed, except those of the cardiac system.Keywords
