Carcinoid Crisis Precipitated by Chemotherapy in Metastatic Bronchial Neuroendocrine Tumor - Abstract
Carcinoid Crisis has previously been reported to be precipitated by different kinds of interventions, most common being surgery and tumor manipulation. Serotonin and its metabolites have been frequently associated with carcinoid crisis. Here we report an index case of chemotherapy precipitating carcinoid crisis in a patient with atypical carcinoid syndrome; having borderline elevated 5- HIAA and chromogranin levels.
