Carcinoid syndrome
Carcinoid syndrome, except for the esophagus, carcinoids can occur in any part of the digestive tract. One-third of them are located in the appendix, which is more common in women and rarely metastasizes. 2% are located in the stomach, and the rest are located in the duodenum, colon (more common in men), gallbladder and Meckel's diverticulum. They can also occur in the bronchi and ovaries, but they are less common. Those that occur in the small intestine are more malignant and can metastasize to the lungs, bones and other abdominal organs. Bronchial carcinoids with carcinoid syndrome have a poor prognosis. Carcinoids can occur at any age. The age of onset of carcinoids in the appendix is mostly between 30 and 40 years old, and carcinoids in other parts of the body mostly occur between 50 and 60 years old.
