The term Karzinαd was named by Oberndorfer al first as a hormonally active tumor follows a more benign clinical course than most other malignancies and has unique structures composed of low dysplastic cells and slow growth pattern. Of all carcinoid, about 70-90% of the tumors are developed in gastrointestinal tract. Recently the gastrointestinal carcinoid tumor is increasing because of screening endoscopy. So I review the general characteristics of gastrointestinal carcinoid. |
